I connect through a LAN at school. I just installed a new motherboard (Epox 8KRAI-X) and now my internet is always going on and off. I'll be on AIM and I will lose my connection and then gain it back a few minutes later. Oh, and when I restart my computer it takes about 15-25 minutes to get my connection going. With my other motherboard it would take about 10 or so minutes but I would never lose my connection. My roommates connections seem fine and don't fluctuate like mine. Its pissing me off. What is wrong? I have the latest drivers for my LAN card. The motherboard has onboard LAN but I have disabled it, so I don't think thats the problem. Also, when I try to repair the connection it says that it can't renew the IP address and to contact my admin or ISP. What should I do?
