I meant your ISP connection, and since you mentioned "connection sharing" I
thought it might be a VPN connection. If it's not, then why not? since it
would likely solve the problem (but I am not familiar with it myself.)

It looks fine. If by this you mean that you have an ethernet connection to
a router/modem or other device, then I don't see much you can do with
Debian if the problem exists beteen the router and the ISP. If you give
more information about the device and connection type if might shed more
light on the problem. Once again, however, the VPN may be the key to your
problem.
my eth0 is connected to the gw using hub on the middle.
i have no idea aobut VPN, can u make clear this ?
VPN means "virtual private network." With Debian I think you would typically
use ssh with IP tunneling to connect to remote LANs, and I was trying to come up
with a typical Windows counterpart. The object of such tunneling would be to
avoid data corruption by means of the data integrity checking in the tunneling
application. (I would not count on your ISP providing such a service.)
It's hard to say much more without more information about the ISP, the
connection and the connection device itself. In particlar, you may need to find
a way to determine the rate of dropped packets on your connection. If there is
no way to query the modem(/router?) then maybe your ISP or phone company can
check it for you.
