Hi,
iam facing a strange problem. My network consists of 4 systems -3 laptops
and i desktop. Desktop is configured as win2003 for dhcp and wins server.
basically it is a peer to peer network with no domain. Out of 3 laptops i
never had a problem with the 2 laptops but the other laptop is loosing
connectivity suddenly. All laptops configuration winxp professional.when i
restart the machine net gets connected for 1 minute and then suddenly
connection drops and private address assigned automatically. i connect to the
net using DSL Modem from the desktop.As suggested i pointed my dns address to
the desktop server but no change. Even i give isp dns also connection is
dropping frequently. can anyone help me in this matter please. All ideas
welcome.

I had drop-off after a few hours, with NO reconnection.

Google for winsockXPfix.exe and repair your TCP stack.

Let me see till tomorrow. I downloaded winsockXPfix.exe from net.
Installed on laptop.
Running fine. No problem till now for the past 4 hours .
Hope this will fix it.
Thanks for the response.
