I seem to be experiencing frequent LAN disconnections with my ethernet

When it happens I lose connection to a computer on the LAN that I have
vnc'd into. I am not able to ping 'www.google.com' either. When I run
'ifconfig -a' it does not mention an issue (i.e., the rge0 still has an IP
address and says 'status: active').
I know the following does not really help but... I recently had a
connectivity issue with an rge interface. I rebooted to recover. What do
you do to resolve your rge connectivity issue? Or how long does it last?
Anything in /var/log/messages when it happens?
Thank you to everyone for your replies.
I do not have to do anything to resolve the disconnections other
than wait. The reconnect happens within a minute or so. Webrowsers
return a not found error, mutt freezes and requires restart and
profanity constantly connects and reconnects.
There is nothing in /var/log/messages about it. :(
The computer is under warranty (three years, unbelievable), so I am
trying to get something other than Realtek replaced in it.
Thanks, Aric
