My broadband modem has started to disconnect itself for no reason that I can fathom. Sometimes I can reconnect after closing down and rebooting, and sometimes not. It's a USB connection on XP Home.

Any ideas for a fix please ? Is it possible for a hacker to "steal" or to hi-jack my connection sending me offline ?
