We have a Windows NT Server. 12 stations trhougout the building. There is a station downstairs running windows 2k that keeps getting disconnected from the network. It connects properly, mapped drives are there and everything. Then suddenly, I cannotsee the drives anymore, and I cannot see the domain anymore in the Network Neighborhood. The network cable is coming from a hub that has another 2 stations connected to it, and the other ones keep working fine. How can I solve this? I need to solve it as soon as possible. Your help is appreciated.

I would rejoin the workstation to the domain and make sure to check the advanced box of change primary DNS suffix when domain membership changes. USe the network wizard. Then I would remap the drive and make sure the box to reconnect at logon is tested. If the same problem still occurs, test the tcp/ip functionality after it loses connection with the network. Ping the Domian controller. ping the nic interface 127.0.0.1 or mac address. If all this works, Try browsing by unc name start > run> \\servername. If that still fails reinstall client for microsoft networks. Right CLick Network Neigborhood > right click > LAN connection> Uncheck CLient for microsoft networks> reboot> same process but this time install client for microsoft networks.
Hope this helps.

Try using an alternate port in your switch/hub. Also, if you have the utilities to do so, run diagnostics on your NIC.
