Network Issues
Does anyone have an issue with internet connectivyt dropping on a regular basis? it's not my provider, my hub, or my modem (I have two identical dell's - connected the same way - and only this one loses the connectivity) - and it drives me crazy. I have worked with Dell support for a while on this, and other than hosing up my system for a few days, they have not offered any valuable solutions.

Hey there, I just posted a message myself and am having the same problems. I only called D-Link to get some support and they never heard of such a problem, speeds fluctuating, etc. I haven't called Dell yet and am wondering of just wiping out the whole system and starting over again, but not sure if this will help, cuz over the years of installing and uninstalling programs, if this has something to so with it or not. I feel its a conflict here somewhere within the addresses and what not, and not the devices, but then again.
If you find anything out, let me know please, and vice versa. Thanks.

I would first check two things:
An improperly seated NIC card or a bad cable. What is the hub connected to? If a router, then get rid of the hub and go staright into the router. Sounds like some collisions or IP Address conflicts.
