I'm trying to hook up an Inspiron 2650 with a 3Com 3C960 Fast Ethernet Controller card to my home network. However, my Internet connection gets dropped every five minutes. When I check "Network Connections" in "Control Panel", it says "Network Cable Unplugged", even though it's not. Five minutes later, the connection is up and running again! I've tried everything I can think of... to no avail. If anyone got any helpful suggestions to solve my problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Rob
