Hey,

i checked my dmesg logs, and i have found these lines:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
r8169: eth0: link up

How to fix?

This problem persists from 2 to 10 times per day, starting from the day before yesterday..

first, update to the latest version. (apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade) and check again.
 
Hey, we fixed it by changing network card.

thanks for feedback - which card is working now? just post the info, maybe interesting for others with the similar issue.
 
Hey,

no problem.

I had disabled onboard (integrated) NIC.

*-network
description: Ethernet interface
product: RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

And i added Realtek 8139.
