Anthony, i have the same setup (and obviously the
same problem):
home built machine with
-ASUS P4P800-E Delux motherboard
-Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (driver version 8.41.1.3)
but i'm on a D-link router and a motorola cable
modem (Comcast).
but like James Carter's note above, my computer
doesn't notify me that a connection is lost until
I try to get on the internet. and it usually dies around
that time range too.
though i can disable/re-enble my (LAN) connection,
and that always fixes it. the main problem for me is
that when i'm on the road, i can't "fix" this remotely if
the computer loses the internet connection.
the weird part is, i have another computer connected
to the same router. but that one doesn't have any
problem what so ever.
also, i tried what David did: "Go to your Network
connection, Properties, Authentication tab and
uncheck IEEE authentication. Sometimes this gets
checked when you update. Nothing should be checked
on that tab." but that didn't work. =\
i'll post something if i find out anything. good luck
people!
