Just yesterday my connection that was working fine before started, to go dead about every 15 minuets, it comes back if i just wait a few minutes but this can get real annoying. at&t@home told me that it is a problem with my computer but didn't seem to want to help because we have 2 computers conneceted to them through a hub. The other computer works just fine. it worked fine a few days ago and i don't think i changed any settings. I have tested my network card with a diagnostic program that came with it and it said it was working fine, i have checked allthe cables and they seem fine, If you have any ideas of what could be causing this it would be great help. thanks and if this isn't clear just reply and i will try and clearify
