my msn on, it's keep dropping then reconnect, but the funny thing is, the
network icon has never showing it's disconnected from the network and the
interenet is working perfectly fine. someone please help! im suffering from

I do see Vista has some issues with 2wire modem. If you have installed
latest driver, you may try to disable the IPv6 as below post.
