I have several WinXP computers on my home network. I have several
netwrok shares setup to allow files to be shared between the
computers. Unfortunately one of the computers has started acting up.
If I reboot the computer, the network interface always comes back as
disconnected. At this point ofcouse the netwrok shares are
disconnected. Normally you would just click on the netwrok share and
the connetion would be reestablished.
In my case the network adaptor is actually identified as being
disconnected. All I have to do to get the network to start working
again is to disconnect the ethernet cable and reconnect it. At this
point everything starts working again.
This PC did not use to do this. Since this is my media center PC I
would really like to get around this problem as if the PC has to
restart for some reason, This is an extra step everyone ahs to go
through to get the system completely functional again.
Appreciate any comments,
It is possible that it is not properly sensing the network speed/duplex
at startup and by disconnecting/reconnecting, it then properly senses
it. Try going to the Device Manager, Double-click on your NIC entry,
Click the "Advanced" tab, and change the speed/duplex setting from
the default "Auto" to the correct setting for your network.
