You need to figure out if it is a software issue or a hardware issue.
It could be (1) NIC driver or (2)Bad Nic or (3) Bad ethernet cable (4)
Bad switch/hub port

Check to see if there is an updated driver for your NIC and install
that. Also, you might want to replace your ethernet cable. But if you
can re-enable the NIC and it works, it sounds like a software issue.
If you mean you can re-enable it and it works for over a few hours,
this is something to look into.

Hey guys,

I have recently been having issues with our Exchange server which is on
Server 2003 STD Ed.

The server has a static IP, yet its started to lose network
connectivity at random times. The only way to fix it is to disable and
then re-enable the NIC. Then all of a sudden it works again.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Thanks in advance.
