every time I try to connect my computer online in
the morning I loose my driver for the Ethernet on my motherboard.

I tried to reinstall my Ethernet driver for my motherboard
and that works but everytime I turn off my computer it seems to
loose the DSL connection I also tried it with a separate Linksys Ethernet Card
to connect my Ethernet wire and it does the same thing?

i also tried to disconnect my modem and changed a

the etherntet wire to a new one...

can you guys please help!!!!

Sounds kinda creepy to me. I'd run antivirus and spyware removal tools.

When you say you are loosing the driver (are you sure).
If that is correct, then the device manager will show up with unknown hardware.
Check the device manager and see if the device says it is loaded with the driver and it is working correctly.
You should be able to make a loopback connector to keep the port in an permanently up state.

Just connect pin 1 to 3 and pin 2 to 6, you don't need to worry about the other pins as they are not used.

If the PC passes the above tests and still shows as ok, then just try a reboot in the morning and see if this wakes the connection up.
If not, then try to reset the modem by totally unplugging it and then reconnect.
