I have an asus p5k delux and I use the onboard network connections, I have sky broadband with the netgear router they supply and its all connected via cables.
Now regardless of which port I use (there's a realtek and a marvell port) I often (several times a day sometimes and then days or maybe a week or 2 without then several times a day for a while again) have dropouts where the internet connection stops working, the little icon in the bottom right has a red cross over it or a yellow triangle saying I have either limited or no connectivity.
Over time the connection comes back or I can diagnose the fault using vista which gives me the option to restart the adapter which normally fixes it, sometimes it doesn't and I have to reboot.
All the while if I'm using my laptop with wifi it works fine so I guess its not the actual connection.
Anyone any idea what might be wrong? I've had this with another router and iirc even different mobos, I just seem to have real trouble with this.
Any help appreciated!
