Whenever I close my file explorer my ethernet temporarily disconnects and it is ver annoying especially when I am using the internet at the time. This also happens occasionally when I close Google Chrome.

Sounds like a strange issue.

best things i can suggest at this time are to

- Check and make sure the drivers for your network cards are up to date.
- If you have a wireless card and Ethernet card both installed, disable the adapter that you aren't using, could be a DHCP issue with your router and it could be trying to assign the same IP to both cards causing a disconnect.
