Computers don’t reconnect to network

by KDL737 . Updated 3 years, 1 month ago

So, i have like 10 computers in few rooms. Sometimes my network loses connection for like 0.1 sec (it starts from first switch, computer connected straight to router haven’t this problem). And after this few computers can’t reconnect automatically, as they must do. So, 3-4 computers just stay unconnected, while they can see the connection (connection indicator has that yellow triangle warning) and there are few ways to reconnect them: 1) right click on connection and use the fix function (works in like 30% of situations); 2) go to the connections and disable/enable connections (50% success); 3) manually unplug Ethernet cable and put it back (100% success).
The question is: what’s wrong with these computers? Why don’t they reconnect like others? And how to fix it? They have Win XP and Win 7 OS. Can’t change Windows to newer (btw, other PCs also have XP and 7).
