D600 drops network connection when docked

I have a Dell D600 that when docked drops network connection many times per day. If I connect ethernet cable directly to laptop it never drops connection. I have tried 2 different docking stations and the same occurs and they work fine with another D600. Any suggestions? Drivers? etc?

We are having exactly the same problem. Updated BIOS and replaced Port Replicator with new one. Did not solve the problem. Anybody any ideas?

and I have the same issue ! with the added complication that it tends to then disable the NIC in the Bios ! I regularly use 4 different dock stations and the problem only occurs on one of 8 laptops which do the same thing.

current workaround is swap the hard drive over to a working laptop and put the failing one in a draw !! but now someone needs to use it so need to get it fixed ! especially as they are totally non-technical and trying to talk them through bios settings is not an option !
