Is it wired or wireless? Are you using traditional "ifup" or
"NetworkManager"?

When it goes down, run "/sbin/ifconfig; ip ro" and look if the adapter
has set the correct data (IP address and gateway).

If you use a dynamic configuration (DHCP) for the network then you rely
on your modem/router/server or whatever device/source has to fill your
NIC with the proper data. You will have to investigate why the connection
is being dropped from time to time ("grep -i dhcp /var/log/syslog" can
also help).
