Networking Problems, XPS2, Gigabit Ethernet
Periodically I will be in the middle of something and all of a sudden I lose network connectivity. Can't open websites, can't even get to my router (DLink DI-604). I'm pretty sure I'm not able to get to any network resources (shared printers, other machines, etc.) but I will check that. A reboot usually solves the problem. My XPS2 has the Gigabit ethernet (Intel Pro/1000 MT).
Anyone experiencing anything like this?
I have tried "forcing" my NIC speed at 100mbps/Full Duplex because I recall reading that sometimes the nics drop out by themselves, something to so with autonegotiation of the connection speed. I'll leave it this way and see if it helps.
Just wondering if I'm alone...thanks

Cable connections are good, tested with several cables.
Haven't reinstalled any drivers yet, the system is barely a month old. Will do so if there's an update though. I'll check.

NetBeui is not necessary since XP uses NetBios (advanced tab under TCP/IP proerties...enable NetBios over TCP/IP under WINS tab).
The ohers are installed by default. Are they enabled?

All are enabled.
NetBeui helps in my home office LAN, I have at least one Win98SE box, also running NetBeui.

Update ... since flashing my router (Dlink DI-624) the problems seem to have gone away...
