Connection Loss every 5-10 mins

[darmour]

I have a Dell Optiplex GS320 Running WinXP Pro SP3, Intel Dual Core 1.6ghz, 1gb ram, 128mb Nvidia. I have a Rural Wireless Broadband Connection through http://smithsys.net. The problem im having is while im surfing online every 5-10 minutes i lose connectivity and have to repair the connection to gain it back..or let it sit for 2-3 mins. I have no wireless router it is just ethernet into my network card. The ISP says it is me and not their end so im kinda lost?...Here is my IPCONFIG and PING results..

Register at DSLReports and run their Line Quality Tests. It's best to run this test with a direct wired connection to eliminate any wireless issues from the results. It's useful many times to run this test several times, and we'd like to see each of the results. Post the results link from the top of the test display page for each test run here.

The link to post is near the top of the page and looks like:

If you wish to post this result to a forum, please copy/paste this URL
http://www.dslreports.com/linequality/nil/2357195 <- sample only, yours will obviously be different!
and your IP will be disguised.

Copy/paste that link here.

Note: You will have to enable PING (ICMP) request response either in your router (if you have one), or in your computer's firewall for direct modem connections. This is very important to get the most important part of the test to run.
