Hi,

a weird problem.. when for example using winmx, often my connection
resets.... I can even see the netcard icon buttom right of the screen says
"disconnected".. this only takes 2-4 seconds and the connection is
restored...

Anyone else experiencing these "netcard dropouts" ?

Thanks,
jorgen
 
Sounds like you have an intermittent connection somewhere after the NIC.
Could be the cable or you router/modem/hub or a broken solder joint on the
board where the jack is mounted. Watch the link lights on the mobo where the
CAT5 cable plugs in. That may provide you with a clue if one of the lights
goes off when that error pops up. Try is using the alternate Ethernet RJ45
jack. You'll need to install drivers but it is worth a try. Time the period
between disconnection's to see if they are regular or if they occur at
random. Random may point to the cable or phisical interface.
