now i'm gettin random disconnects to my network!

i'm kinda speechless right now...i realllllllllll llllllly wanna blame Win 7, but i don't have any concrete proof...yet

had a random DC 2 days ago, yesterday, had 2...was browsing and just suddenly lost connection (wired network)

had to turn off modem+router, turn em back on, disable connection, re-enable connection

my old setup using windows xp never DC'd me like that in 4 years of use..if my network ever went down, it was because the ISP went down

Maybe you do have a faulty mobo?  The vanilla version Win 7 isn't bad but once you start customizing it that's when things can get messy.

what kind of motherboard do you have?

Are you sure its not your router?

Ping your own host, if successful ping your switch and router. If successful, ping an outside address like 4.2.2.2
You should be able to pin point the problem using one of these method.

  I'm running the same mobo on my gaming pc.  My rig doesn't seem to give me any problems though.  Maybe the error is the user?  j/k
