Hi fellow geeks!

Every 5-10 mins or so, my internet connection gets terminated and I have to keep switching off my modem's power and wait for it to re-connect. I know it's not congestion issues, as my wireless connection to my laptop from the same modem is fine (and the problem occurs all the time).

I'm presuming it's to do with my desktop connection settings?

When connected, I have 3 icons in 'network connections'. At the top appears an 'Internet Gateway' icon and below under the 'LAN or high-speed internet' section, I have 2 icons: One is something called a '1394 connection' and the other is 'Local area connection' (both enabled).

Hardware I'm using:

Intel D975XBX board using the Intel 82573E/82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Netgear wireless router (connected via RJ-45 cable)

Any advice, greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Glenn
