Hi,

It is becoming more common and frustrating in our organization that the Internet connection on W2K prof machines drops and comes back. I applies SP2 and W2K security roll up package, but that did not help at all. I removed virus scan form couple W2K machines for test purpose that did not make any difference either.
I appreciate any help.

Maybe it's your connection. Is it DSL? As far as I know, no ISP offers a SLA or CIR for DSL.

I've experienced some problems with Win2k dropping network connctions on Dell computers using an Intel integrated nic. There is an article on Dells web ite concerning this. Although it may not just be a Dell/Intel issue, swapping out the network card would be a good first avenue to walk down.
