I have two Windows 2000 boxes with an Intel Pro 100/S NIC connected to a HP ProCurve 408 Switch. Earlier this afternoon, Windows started switching between "Connected to LAN" and "Network Cable Unplugged" messages every few seconds.
From what I can tell, the cable from the NIC to the switch are secure, I have tried switching the cable to different ports (each time the Switch port light blinks, meaning its picking up some kind of traffic from the cable). I have disabled/enabled the network connection a few times, a reboot failed to pick up the connection, and I've followed the Troubleshooting/FAQs for the 408 switch. I'm now looking up network docs for W2k.
I am still unsure if the problem resides in the NIC, the cable, the switch, or with Windows 2000. Does anyone know a reason why Windows would constantly detect and lose a network connection that has been working fine for the past few months?
Thanks for the help!
