Hi. I've recently gotten a new computer from with an Asus motherboard. The hard drive is installed with Windows XP with Service pack 2, and I've installed every driver that came with it.

But my internet has been very dicky. It'll drop connection for a second or less, then reconnect, and it does this frequently, slowing all of my downloads down. I tried hooking my other computer back up, and I did not have this problem, so it must be the ethernet slot my new computer has.

I've found no newer drivers for it than I already have, anyone know any idea what it could be? I hate seeing "A network cable is unplugged" every 1-2 minutes or less. Thanks.
