Networking stops

[tourettes 0]

Sometimes my networking stops. No error messages, no nothing wich tells me that networking died. Only thing wich brings it back is reboot.

 

Is anyone else having similar problems?

Have you run ipconfig after it stops to see what the output is? What protocol(s) are you using? What other machines are you connecting to? If you are using TCP/IP, can you ping the loopback (127.0.0.1)? Need more info.

I have run into this several time since I installed SP1 on my workstation. I will check ipconfig next time it happens. The quick fix though, besides rebooting, is to go into 'Network and Dial-up Connections' and disable and enable the network connection.

Disabling / enabling didn´t help when last time I got this problem. I didn´t check ipconfig's output.

 

Here's my setup:

 

Only TCP/IP installed on W2K

One Windows 98 computer

One Linux conputer configured as firewall / router.

Did you try typing ipconfig/release or ipconfig/renew at the command prompt? it should work and saves time in rebooting. My connection occasionally drops out, it keeps block sync though and I just release and renew.
