We have a network of approx 100 pc’s all using TCP/IP. Recently 4 of the machines have started to randomly lose their connection to the network. The problem is that they use software dependent on the network, and when the connection is lost, the program crashes.
We use an NT network using only CAT5 cabling and each machine has a relatively new network card in it.
The only problem that we can see is that the network card and the graphics card are sharing the same IRQ (11) although it is not showing as a conflict. We do not appear to be able to change these settings and have tried re-installing both cards but with no luck.
Any suggestions as to how we can stop these computers losing the connection will be much appretiated.
Cheers
Ian
