Ethernet connection dropping
So my Ethernet connection keeps dropping. It doesn't just cut out and force me to find a way to reconnect, it's just tiny little disconnects that auto-reconnect almost instantly. I had trouble with the adapter turning itself off randomly when putting my PC into sleep mode overnight, but I think turning off "allow adapter to be turned off to conserve power" might have fixed it.
My drivers and firmware are up to date, and I saw that one solution could be to turn Receive Side Scaling off, but after reading up on what it is it doesn't seem like something that should be off.
Some help would be nice, because the disconnects are really annoying.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and my network adapter is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, though this also happens when using a wireless adapter.
edit: this actually happens wireless as well.
