"Generic Host Process" is what windows uses as a service to connect to the internet. I've had a few problems of just lossing a connection. I'd say if you have any thing like a Firewall (router) or a software version (zonealarm) check the settings on what it might be doing when it encounters "Generic Host".

Beyond that I can't tell you much. If you keep having trouble, switch to linux I guess.
