windows xp?? is that what you mean?

yes, ok.
It could be alot of things. it could be...
The network cable has been stabbed (meaning under the carpet theres those nails it could have been pierced the wire)
You network card could be faulty.
your wire plug could be faulty
the way you set it up...
etc. etc

it has never ever done this before tho... i have had this connection for over 3 years.. out of no where, it just started, and its constantly doing it

It sounds like your network card is packing up (dont qoute me on it though) try borroing a network card or buy one and just take it back if it doesnt work. My network card packed up after 2 years for such continous use so try that.
My other theory was the netwrok cable could bebent at the plug so it has pulled them out slowly so when they do touch they work but when they dont they dont!

ugh... so your saying i need a new network card?? and how much do they cost?

But it could be your cable, so i'm stuck in two ways

EDIT: go to the back of your pc and wiggle the wire if  the connection goes then its your cable...
