I'm using XP Pro and having network connectivity problems. At least a couple of times a day my network connection just dies - pages don't load, torrent programs stop downloading/uploading, msn etc all stop working. The only way i know how to get up and running again is by restarting the pc before it happens again in a few minutes or hours.
I've tried repairing the network connection, disabling then re-enabling it, setting a static ip and disabling DHCP on the router but no joy (not quite sure if i have been doing this correctly though). Other PCs on the network ie my linux pc and pc on wireless aren't affected. It's just the one PC that is having this issue.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling network components from add/remove programs and tried doing a system restore back to when i wasn't having this problem but also no joy.
I've never had this problem before. Any ideas people?

The connection in question is wired. One of the other two PCs is also wired and the third one is connected wirelessly.
