I know this post is old but, I was wondering if you managed to fix the problem? I have the same problem and no matter how much restarting I do of Windows 7 it still happens and even more curiously is, when Windows Live Messenger beta disconnects and reconnects, it affects my internet as well. When I close messenger I can use the internet normally but, while messenger's on and having problems I can't go on the internet :s
Anyway I hope you found a solution to the problem and I'd if you have I'd love to know what it is
