I have a strange phenomenon going on the WinNT 4.0 server where my Exchange 5.5 is running seems to be disconnecting itself from the network. It does not write antyhing in the event viewer so I can troubleshoot it. Whern this happens I am not ableto even ping it by IP or UNC. If I reboot it come sback on. It is using a static IP. I have replaced the NIC to rule that out. Any one have any ideas?

first order of bussiness since you have ruled out a bad nic is ip address conflicts.Double check your ip and your gateway to be certain of no conflicting addresses.If all else fails try rebuilding your ip stack.Remove the ip protocols from your nt server and reboot.Replace you ip protocol and reboot,Then reassign you ip address and gateway.That should take care of the poroblem.
