Could be a faulty ethernet cable which works until it is moved slightly and then stops working until it is moved again. Alternatively it could be a faulty ethernet port on the modem which either loses the connection when the modem gets to a certain temperature and regains it when it gets cooler or loses the connection if the cable is moved slightly. You could try wiggling the cable when connected via ethernet and the connection is OK to see if that drops the conncetion.
