MSN Disconnect

I just recently began having problems staying connected to MSN. It disconnect/reconnects between every 2-12 mins. And I haven't changed any settings. Also having connection problems with IRC and newsgroups. Everything has been working fine for several weeks, just recently began having problems. Should I just use DMZ on my main computer?

Router - Linksys BEFW11S4 v.4 with FW 1.44.2

Enable UPnP in the router.

W32.blaster.worm ?
If you've got firewall logs, check for access attempts on Port 135.

Nope, nothing on 135.

I have the default port for MSN open.
