Try disabling and re enabling it?

Restart your modem/router?

 

[sellmesanity]

Have you tried repairing your connection?

Do you have a built in ethernet network card in the motherboard? If so perhaps it is malfunctioning. Have you tried putting in a PCI ethernet adapter?

Run this and upload the log.

 

[Mr Backfire]

Not sure about the network card
