I doubt that is the problem. I've been using multiple nics since NT 3.5.
I've setup at least 30 servers over the years and never had any problems
other than fail NIC's, poorly configured protocols, or other configuration
issue.

I've gotten wind that there is a fault in XP. It appears that XP clients,
are having a problem with the network disappearing for a few seconds. Good
old MS isn't saying anything much about it. But if you jump over the the
microsoft.public.network_web news group you will see similar problems with
the TCP/IP stack. It just stops working.

I'm going to do a test, I'm going to setup a Windows 2000 Pro machine and
see if I still have the same problem. If not then I know it's a XP issue.
