Some details of your setup would be helpful. Wired? Wireless? OS? I will need some more information first.

How often does it drop? What kind of wireless card are you using? Try updating to the latest drivers for your wireless card.

What, if any, antivirus/antispyware is running?

Try disabling all the non microsoft services using msconfig at startup, then see if the issue still occurs.
