    Okay, this has been bugging me for a while.
    This isn't too common of an occurence.. maybe once every two months or so, one of my network connections - namely my 2Wire network port - is always getting disconnected. One of those annoying Windows messages tells me that 'a network cable is unplugged'. Internet doesn't work for about 5 minutes, it's restored for maybe 5 minutes and the proccess repeats.

    This annoys the hell out of me, and I can't really do anything because the connection will die. I've got other things plugged in, but none of them have any problems like this.

    I can't remember what I smashed or fiddled with last time this happened, so any help is appreciated. I'm on Windows XP, using a 2Wire PC Port (the computer with the problem is a client and not the main hub)
