Is there way to list/log network disconnections on Win7?
I'm getting re-connected many times a day to interenet and it havent been happening just few weeks ago. So I want to have these drops listed so I can show them to my internet provider.
I would use either Performance Ping or , if you have access to a machine on their network, such as a SSH shell account, you might be able to use Java Net Perf to get much more detailed info.

Look for event ID = 27, source = your network card drive, e.g. for Intel gigabit ethernet, "e1yexpress". Just filter it and copy/paste.
Event ID 27 is pretty large if you don't know the name for source. You can check for Event ID# 10400, Source = NDIS.
The other way that I found will work...disconnect the wire/wireless and then re-enable. Check the event viewer immediately and you'll see the events related to the disconnect. Get those event ids and source to help further troubleshoot.
