This problem is relatively new. I have only had a problem with it in the past month or so. I am not on a network, no other computers are on the internet except this one. What causes this to happen and how can I prevent it from happening?
Dropping connection constantly

In control panel, network connections, right click the connection, click properties, is there anything about disconnect if idle

I did find, after much looking, under Network Connections>Local Area Connection Properties_Connect Using "Intel ® PRO/100 VE Network Connection Properties"...-configure-Power Mangement> a selection that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" - is that it? --- I unchecked it. Will that solve the problem?

Possibly not, though winsockfix should help

You're right it didn't fix it! I downloaded the WinSox and ran it, hope that solves the problem - it's really aggravating!
I'm still running really slow though, so I'm going to go over to the other board and post a Hijack log file.
Thanks for your help!

The Winsock fix didn't fix it either. Within an hour after I ran it, the connection shut down again.
