    OK this has been happening ever since I got the PC about a year ago, it didnt happen that often then but now it's just bugging me.

    Have an Asus P5KC motherboard and the network connection just dies on me randomly.
    It mainly occurs whilst I am downloading torrents using Azureus, but also happens sometimes when I am just browsing the web or watching media on another networked PC.

    There is nothing showing up in the event viewer, no problems or errors. Everything else still works, it's just that the network drops.

    Tried to repair connection, even disabled the network adaptor and enabled it again but it doesnt fix it. Updated the drivers, still happens.

    Only way to fix it is to reboot the PC, nothing else.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a fix?
