I had a similar issue with W2K, it turned out that if I had the NIC speed setting at auto the card broke the connection every now and then to test for highest possible speed. Try setting your NIC properties speed setting to a fixed 100 or 10.

If you have a LAN (more than one NIC) you must do this on each card.
If you still have the problem at 10 / half duplex I'd suggest you look at your DHCP settings and for all you error log to see if they give a clue to whats going on.
Good luck.

Unfortunately I still have a similar issue.
Was fine at first..now I need to `repair` always before accesing the net..and then it stops till a re-repair after some minutes..anoying and weird.
 
I have a cable connection and the connection with the provider remains stable.
 
Any help is ofcourse greatly appreciated.
