Hello,

I have a mixed environment here of Windows 2000 Pro and
Windows XP Pro. We have the basic T1 internet access and
hardware firewall. Every now and then the XP clients
will loose the ability to access the internet (not all at
once) but are able to still see the Windows domain and
access all local resources while the Windows 2000 systems
never have a problem. What I end up having to do is
setup the network card to show its icon in the taskbar
and when this happens I tell the end users to right click
on it and choose repair. This works and they are able to
access the internet again. I have XP as well and this
happens on my desktop a couple of times a day.

Why is this happening to only the XP systems, and what
can I do to correct this? I've applied all of the
patches, service packs, and checked different
configurations. I just can't figure out why this is
happening.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks
Keith
 
Hello Keith,

I am expierencing the same problem but only with one of our XP users.
This is a weird problem to say the least. Have you had any luck on
finding out what is causing this problem?
