What kind of network? What kind of card? Has this always happened? Do
other systems have this issue? Have you tried the same box via other
networks or network cables? If it’s a wireless issue you should
probably post in the wireless child forum.

Good luck.

Well I can’t claim to be an expert on the hardware (may eventually want
to check in the .hardware forum if nothing else comes up in here) but
instead of rebooting try the following command (as root) to see if it
recovers your connection:

/etc/init.d/network restart

Also are you using the User-controlled (network manager) setup or the
Traditional setup of your network (unchanging by the user)?

Good luck.
