I have an issue related Windows XP clients, time to time they get
disconnected from the network, but still can ping internet address, but
cannot connect via Internet Exploter.
The only resolution it's restart the pc.
I checked DNS on the Server, Updates, and nothing helps
Any ideas?

Jay,

Id start by identifying the nature of the problem, using PingPlotter (free).

Run PingPlotter, and set it up to ping your ISPs DNS server. With PP running,
when one of these "disconnections" occurs, note whether it indicates a break
between the computer and the router, the ISPs gateway, or the DNS server. PP
will also identify the cyclic nature of the disconnections. Running this on
multiple computers will let you see if its happening simultaneously on multiple
computers.
