I recently moved and ever since setting up my desktop, I've had seemingly random losses of my wired connection, although high bandwidth stuff (Netflix, maximizing an HD YouTube video) seems to trigger it fairly reliably.

I'm fairly certain it's something to do with Lubuntu. After the last outage, I hooked up a laptop to the same port on the router with the same cable and it connected just fine. My wireless phone and tablet also maintain their Internet connection.

Rebooting temporarily fixes the issue. Sometimes I need to reboot twice.

What do you need from me to diagnose? :)

you said you hooked up a laptop to the same cable/port etc but you were not using the same ethernet hw that you have in what I assume is a desktop?

Rebooting your PC also reinitializes the hw in the PC including the ethernet port.

Before you assume its Lubuntu... why don't you boot up a "liveCD" of ubuntu or lubuntu etc on the PC and see if it then works. If you still have network problems then you might have to assume its the ethernet card/hw in the PC causing your problems.

If it is a desktop PC, if the ethernet is an add-in card .. maybe it got knocked loose in the move and isn't seated correctly?
