Keep losing internet connection

[sheine]

A number of times during the day I lose my internet connection which can be restored by clicking the internet icon on the bottom panel. To make sure that it is not my computer's fault, I used Mepis which is also on the computer for a day and had no disconnects. How do I correct this problem?

Set a continuous ping (you can make a launcher)
ping -i 1 someaddress.com

An another way is to use MBB: viewtopic.php?f=157&t=103159&p=611337&hilit=mbb#p611337
