[network] eeepc 900 eth0 stop working after ~30 min

Hi everyone.

I'm making a small home server/router using old eeepc 900 and I've got a strange problem with wired network.

The Problem:
In random time, usually from half an hour to hour, the connection just stopping, so i can not ping any resourse, either local or internet.
When i enter ping command, it just stacked without any response.
The cure is to down/up the interface, i've got nothing in logs.

Any suggestions ?

i've notised that if i use torrent, it stops sooner.
Without any network activity, like at night, when i sleep, i can last for hours, last connection stop was after 4-5 hours.
