The network adapter i use is an integrated marvell yukon Gb-E on an Asus DH 975X MB. Here's the problem, whenever i somehow lose my ip and have to renew, it won't renew successfully unless i reboot the entire system. Also, it frequently disconnects when i xdcc files on irc. It however, retains the connection and the DHCP assigned ip address, but i can't open webpages nor do any web related things anymore until the next time i reboot. I have already updated my drivers to the latest.
Are you using a router or is it straight into the modem?
If your using a router take it out of the picture and connect directly into the modem. I had problems with losing internet and network. Ended up being the router causing the problems.
the strange thing is that it only happens when i use irc. If i don't run irc at all, i won't ever get disconnected even with aggressive BTing. And i've tried restoring the connection by bypassing the router when that problem occurred.
This is kind of going around the problem but just set the computer to static IP and see if that fixes it. You could also try a different IRC client or maybe an update to the version you use.
