Typically network cables do not go bad. Unless you have it running on the floor and your rolling your chair across it. I have seen network cards that are not completly in the socket. As your computer heats it causes the card to expand. More than likely your problem is that the Hub or Switch your connected to has a port that is about to go bad. This is a very very Very common thing in the network world. If this is in your home I would try the following:
Purchase a new network cable ( cheap solution )
if that does not resolve your question - Make sure your network card is seated completly in the PC. If that does not resolve your question you need to purchase a new hub or switch. Or last but not least you can always go wireless.

Try restarting your computer especially if you regularly plug/unplug the connection! I sometimes get the same when I hook up my laptop onto the ethernet cable from my broadband router (whilst my computer is on the USB socket). Try it!
Good luck!

check your network cable, probably is bad.
i have a problem almouset as yours. in the network adapter there is a small piece of plastic, whitch holds the cable plug. normally, it's another piece of plastic too, whitch is under the 8 cupper fibers. in my case, the all the cupper fibres are under the plastic. sometimes the network adapter is working, but i cannot connect at all, getting the message : a network cable is unplugged.

Ethernet Card, Cable, or port on the router are at fault. you want to troubleshoot. do not RESET your router! Your modem has not something to do with this both. different everyone is dropping instantaneous connection too? if so time for a router. AAS Comp Networking

You have an intermitant fault with either the network card or cable. U can dowload diagnostic tools from the cards site to test it. If thats fine look at the cable.

Bad cable. Happened to me and the cable company came and told me the default cable I got with my modem was cheap. He gave me a good high quality one for free. Haven't had a problem since.

First off, do you even have a network? My guess would be a faulty networking cable from the pc that has the prob to the router....

Most likely a bad cable, or just a weak connection.

If you are using an ethernet cable to connect then check the connection an/or replace it.
