WinXp computer kicked off network.

[Guest Lvdarkwolf]

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?

Look in Device manager, NIC properties dialog, Power Management tab,

Uncheck the box for allow computer to turn off to save power.

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.

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.

What is "it" you are talking about? You have snipped previous elements in

your post so people many not know what you are referring to or what the

problem is.
