Simple things first - do you get reconnected it you put a static IP on the NIC?

You need an IP - 192.168.1.x - or whatever your range is, subnet - probably 255.255.255.0, the default gateway - same as the IP but either a 1 or 254 at the end and a DNS address - just use Google's 8.8.8.8

Shove all that in - take less than 1 min) and see if you get reconnected. If you do - bingo - you have DHCP issue....
