ethernet port

[Gordon Bruce Lawson]

Have just set up a little three computer network in the house... 
picked up a D-Link router and a ton of cable. Although nothing was 
easy (except running cable) in the set up, i got it working. Found 
that the G3 Lombard was losing the connection every few minutes and 
nothing i would do seemed to reconnect other then rebooting (and 
sometimes that didn't work).... All my settings were right, etc 
etc... As a last resort i put a tiny bit of pressure on the ethernet 
cable plug at the rear of the machine... That was the problem... the 
connection could be moved and my router lights would come on and go 
off....A tiny cardboard shim seems to help, but still lose the 
connection once and awhile... Is having the actual port replaced a 
huge job ? Or is this anything anyone has run into?
