Hi,

I am having a Compaq Server running Windows 2000 Server
with Service Pack 3. On a restart of the server, the
network access from this machine is fine. I am able to
access shares on other machines. However, after sometime I
am unable to access the network share from this machine.
The network shows as still connected. Even ping does not
get me replies. However, if I disable the network
connection adn re-enable it, it begins to work function
correctly again, again for sometime only.

Also, if I replace the only hard disk of the above machine
with another hard disk running Win NT Server 4.0, there
are no issues with the network access. (the point I am
trying to make is the Network card is fine).

I have tried updating the driver for the network card with
the latest drivers from the compaq site. Still no luck.
The card is a "Netelligent 10/100TX PCI Embedded UTP/AUI
Controller" .

I have also re-installed TCP/IP, with no luck.

There is no problem on the network as I am able to work
from other machines well.

Will be thankful for help in this regard.

Regards,
Praveen.
 
You really should have SP4 installed. Do you at least have the ms03-039
patch installed?
 
Yes, it is imperitive right now to have patches installed
as the Nachi has been out and about again. Of course I do
not remember the knowledge base article but depending on
the amount of traffic over some systems the net queue will
get full and stop responding and then as it is freed up
the link comes back. There was an article on how to do
this out on the MS knowledge base. It does involve
registry additions but if you are confident in this it is
an easy addition. The Nachi though is good at setting off
DOS denial of service due to high network traffic.
