Hi

I was loosing connection every few minutes on a day old Installation.
When the connection was lost I would run Winipcfg, this would show
a 169.xxx IP Instead of 81.xxx IP. I resolved the problem by changing
the NIC from the On-Board ( Motherboard) to a slot-in PCI type NIC. Had no
problems since.

Hope this helps anyone.
