djelite 0 Posted November 19, 2001 always having to use "REPAIR" to reconnect. i'm lucky if i'm up consistently for 45 minutes. been this way for 3 days now. tried to restore for the hell of it but, restore ain't doint its job by restoring (blahaha). i'd haaaaaaaaate to have to do a clean system re-install just to get it freakin' working again.

Dirty Harry 0 Posted November 19, 2001 I had a similar issue with W2K, it turned out that if I had the NIC speed setting at auto the card broke the connection every now and then to test for highest possible speed. Try setting your NIC properties speed setting to a fixed 100 or 10. H. Share this post Link to post
djelite 0 Posted November 20, 2001 I tried 10 Full Duplex and it happened again. Imma try 10 Half Duplex and will see what happens. Share this post Link to post
Dirty Harry 0 Posted November 20, 2001 If you have a LAN (more than one NIC) you must do this on each card. If you still have the problem at 10 / half duplex I'd suggest you look at your DHCP settings and for all you error log to see if they give a clue to whats going on. Good luck. H.
