    I recently got an Abit AW8-MAX with dual GB ethernet (onboard) (Runnign windows xp) on occasion i will completly lose my internet. Only way to resolve this is either to disable and re-enable the ethernet or unplug and replug in my cat5 cable. As you can imagine this is quite the annoyance. Any suggestions as to what the problem is? should i RMA the Mobo?

    did you install the driver that came with the motherboard or did windows install its own driver?
