I keep losing connection to almost ALL my games

Okay, so I went to a friend's house and got Windows 7 Ult 64 installed because I was sick of Vista 32. Of course, some games don't work because of the registry and what not, but I'm having another problem I can't quite understand.
On many of my games (Battlefield 2, Crysis 2, APB Reloaded, League of Legends, ect), I join a server, and after something like 10 minutes, it randomly and completely loses connection. The game will often say something like "There is a problem with your connection" or "Connection issues, reconnecting..." and I just stay in the game while nothing moves- there isn't any lag or anything; it's as if my internet just got unplugged. However, I'm often in Skype calls while playing these games, and Skype won't lag or disconnect at all during these times.

I always played all of these games just fine at my home. At my friend's after installing (and activating) Windows 7, the games still worked. It wasn't until I got back home that this started happening. This all seemed to start when I tried playing Crysis 2 multiplayer for the first time. I believe Battlefield 3 doesn't have this issue, but I can't say for sure; the game has worked fine since I got home with Windows 7, but I haven't played it much since I started Crysis 2/started seeing the issue.

We thought our previous modem went out last weekend, but it was just a problem with something down the road, and they gave us a new modem anyway, but I still have the problem. I am also hardwired in- no wifi.

Any help is much appreciated:)

I am so pleased microsoft included this wizard, right click the internet icon on your taskbar, and select troubleshoot problems, make sure your adapter drivers are all installed, if you can maybe try on a different network before all of these changes to identify whether it is your computer or your network, though as you say skype still works, it is probably a pc problem.

Maybe in the ride home something happened, not sure what though, but there is still a chance
 
Thanks for your response, but I didn't really get any replies in 3 days, so I just decided to kind of bug my internet company. I would call, they would help, and that would be it. It wouldn't work, so I would call again and repeat. I ended up calling 3 or 4 times to find out something is most likely wrong in the line around my street since the Xbox did the exact same thing when my computer was off - but that was a while ago. The problem has been solved as far as I know now :D.
