I would check DNS. What DNS server do they point to for Primary? Alternate?

Hi,
On a new Win2003 network, we have a few PCs (XP Pro) that lose their
connection to the server from time to time (usually several days). They
can no longer get to the shared drive. A reboot of the PC solves this.
Any idea why or how I can troubleshoot this?

Thx,

D
