I am using Dlink Adsl router and Bsnl broadband connection.
Intel processor, XP service pack 2.
The ADSL light in the router is steady and constant.
But Problem is that sometimes the connection is lost and I have reinstall the modem driver, restart the router, restart the computer or Plug out and again plugin the router.
But sometimes all this fails, and when I format my computer, all starts working fine but only fore few days.
What a strange problem! Please help me out.

We had to have a "home run" installed, because our telephone wires(only 10 yrs.old) couldn't handle the updated DSL they installed the other day. No more phone line to modem anymore.
I've also heard in the past, that D-Link is kind of unreliable. If you can afford it, I'd switch to Netgear. Only problem I had with them was that the driver had incompatibility issues with SP2. I just went to their website and downloaded the patch and updated driver, and all was fixed. You might try D-Link's website to see if there might be a similar issue. Also, make sure that any drivers are WHQL tested(windows hardware quality lab tested) Other third party drivers can cause instability issues in XP!
After reading your details again, that's pretty much what mine used to do also, except mine would intermittently restart too. Try the driver issue, it's worth a shot! Mine is good to go ever since I did that.

i've noticed that the settings on the adsl routers change based on the company that manufactures them. Especially in the case of BSNL. Call bsnl and have them come over and configure the modem. They'd have it working in no time.
All the best, knowing bsnl, you'll need it.
