When trying to download big files from File Server to some workstations they lose their connection with network. All the workstations in my network are the same configuration. But only few have this problem. The only way thet I can conect them to network again is to restart them. All the computers in the network are Win 2000. SP-1 is installed on all of them. I would apriciate any sugestions.

I think I would probably start by swapping one that has the problem with one that doesn't so you can see if it the workstation itself or the location.

If it's the location, it could be a cabling or switch issue.

If the problem follows the workstation, I would be looking closely at the NIC configuration and maybe even do a key-by-key comparison of the registries of a good machine and one that is misbehaving.
