PC network problem!
« on: December 21, 2004, 09:42:27 PM »
OK I finally have a PC question!  Since this is the bridge to my Amiga network here goes!  I built a new PC, Gigabyte P4 3.2GHz 1MB Cache.  512MB DDR 333.  XP SP2, the problem is that almost every day the network dies.  It shows still connected but I cannot get anywhere.  When I try to release and renew the IP it says DHCP server is unavailable.  If I reboot it works, or if I disable and reenable LAN port.  What could it be?  It is really irritating as I have a web server running on it too and it goes down every day.  Damn XP!

I do not use a router. I have a second NIC to a 4 port switch, where I have my A4000D and A3000T and HP 4+ printer hooked up to.  I do have Norton 9.0 SAV and Personal Firewall installed.  I also read that it could be my NIC going into StandBy or some crap?  I will check when I get home...

I do have SP2 installed!  I will try with Firewall off to see if it helps but maybe its not a good idea.  I do have a router with firewall I need to install it.
