G4 drops Ethernet connection

My G4 running OS8.6 completeley drops its connection to the Ethernet network for no apparent reason. The connection is lost at different intervals. The computer may be idle or performing different tasks - sharing files, sending e-mail, printing, etc. Restarting the computer solves the problem, but sometimes not for too long. Would appreciate any info /

Check out the following URL. There are known issues with iMac, G3 and G4 macs on Ethernet networks that involve them losing their network address. Apple have a "work around". Its value depends on your budget.
