Ethernet connection drops constantly

Recently upgraded to Zorin 6, I had used Zorin 5 for about 6 months.

Under Zorin 5, everything was fine but Updates started to not work, which prompted me to upgrade. When I switched to Zorin 6, my "wired connection 1" started to drop offline randomly. I did all the updates, even went in the connection prperties to see if there was some kind of time out feature or something.

I went into Additional Drivers and the only thing that came up was for the video card. Network card is listed as using driver: r8169

Right now I'm at a loss

Running a Intel Core 2 Quad 6700 @ 2.66 Ghz, Zorin 6 - 64 Bit

Any help is appreciated. Any Ideas?
