Way back in August of last year, I reported my connection problem.

Do you know what card (or chipset) it is.
I can find that from Windows which is where I am now and it's reported as Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. But I also did it from Linux as requested in case it was being mis-described there. It doesn't appear to be as it's shown as :- 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
I did some google searches and found lots of people reporting the same thing. Quite a few of them and I had one thing in common, the chipset. So I binned the card, bought a D-Link gigabit card and so far touch wood, it's started first time every time.
