Re: [2K] intermittent (internal) connection problem
Thanks Tom. I didn't think that might be the case since other networking aspects are working.
It's an onboard NIC. If I buy a NIC card, does it override the onboard?

David;
I would try going into device manger and disabling the onboard nic there. That should allow windows to to use the PCI NIC as the default connection.

@covad.net | I found this NIC test online -- "Ping -t 127.0.0.1 " -- and ran it for a few pages with no errors. Do you think that's an indication the NIC is OK? |

That does not test the NIC, that is a local loopback, it never touches and network cards; just looped back in the stack via software.
