Guest Lvdarkwolf Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 We have dozens of computers acting strangly. They are all connected to the domain as setup as any other computer is. For some reason though they will simply go into "network death" there network cards seems to simply turn off, looking at the network switch they will be unseen there as well. As soon as we reboot or moved the network cable to another port they will come live again. The only fix we have found is to join the computer to a workgroup and then readd it to the domain. I know i've had this happen previously with embedded windows systems but never full towers before. Does anyone know what would suddenly cause this sickness?
Guest Bob I Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Re: WinXp computer kicked off network. Look in Device manager, NIC properties dialog, Power Management tab, Uncheck the box for allow computer to turn off to save power. Lvdarkwolf wrote: > We have dozens of computers acting strangly.

Guest Lvdarkwolf Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Re: WinXp computer kicked off network. Is there anything else that can cause it. Seems like kicking it off the domain and readding it, and making sure the power settings are turned off is not working.
Guest Lvdarkwolf Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Re: WinXp computer kicked off network. Im really getting desparate now. Its spreading to more and more systems. The symptoms are essencially network death. The only way to get the network to work again is to logoff/login or restart. After some unpatternable point it will happen again. Readding it to the domain does not work and neither does turning off the power settings on the nic. It is also affecting our secured leap wireless now, its connected with excellent signal but everythign network wise will be disconnected and unreachable, until relog or restart.

What anti-virus software? On my personal home PC, my Norton 360 was kicking the PC off my network. Until I told the Norton to trust my home LAN IPs and wireless SSID. After these "trust" rules were set up correctly, all was networking successfully.

You have snipped previous elements in your post so people many not know what you are referring to or what the problem is.
