I have had that SAME problem with two 54g rigs at my house. I changed the channel, and it stopped, then I gutted one of the machines (read: tinkering), put everything back in, and it started to do it again, the second computer still worked fine. I changed the channel again, and now BOTH are losing connection again. I have found the easiest way to get it back is right click the network icon in systray, open all connections, disable the lan connection, enable it, and in a few seconds it's back up, usually I do this one time and have no more problems until the computer is rebooted. I have yet to be able to figure out what's causing the problem....Good to know it's not just me though.
