Another source of info could be when they connection fails open a
terminal and type 'dmesg', it should give you some info about what just
happened.

Also you can try 'tail /var/log/messages' and 'tail /var/log/syslog' for
more info.

One of these may tell you what just failed and caused the network
connection to drop out.
