could be a bad network switch. or a bad cable on that NIC. 

Though I wouldn't expect a bad cable to happen with such uniform
periodicity (unless there's some physical disturbance that jiggles
the cable every 4-5 seconds trigging an intermittent connection.)

have you tried just walking around the back of that box and watching
the little blinky lights on the back to see if they go OFF every 4-5
seconds for a second or so then come back on? I'd expect either a bad
cable or switch to cause them to go off, if they really have disconnected.
