Windows XP keeps dropping internet

My internet drops at random times for no apparent reason, the only way I am able to get it back up is to disable the Ethernet adapter and then enable again, this does not always work and try different avenues such as changing settings in the properties like changing the network address from not present to present and giving it a value of 1. Don't know why that works but sometimes it does.

Please let me know what other info you need if you have any answers, thank you in advance!
