This solved my problems. Kept getting the "Network Disconnected" message at randon
intervals. Mostly while trying to download large files.
The KB article listed instructs you to tell Windows not to try powering down the
device to save power. Here's the text:
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure the MN130 settings not to allow Windows to turn
the adapter off to save power. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Connect To, and then click Show all connections.
2. Right-click the MN130 adapter connection, and then click Properties.
3. Click the General tab, and then click Configure.
4. Click the Power Management tab.
5. Click to clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check
box (if it is selected).
Note MN130 is a specific NIC, however in my case I was having the same issue with
the integrated NIC's in my nForce 4 motherboard. So far, the fix above has resolved
my issues too, even though I've got different NICs.
