Honestly, I've changed nothing on my machine.

*I may be wrong* About the DHCP lease, if you disconnect and reconnect within a lease, you get the lease back, until it expires, it *shouldnt* renew it, hence you dont get 24 hours.
Anyway, not using virus software or a firewall is frankly asking for it, before you do anything go to
http://housecall.trendmicro.com and do a scan, if you're clean, try to change from USB/Ethernet or vice versa, and see if it still drops, if So, get a brick, tie it to modem, you know the rest. :p
