I have a system running Server 2003 Standard w/ SP1. Out of nowhere I started losing network connectivity to it. I have replaced all network related hardware that is connecting it (router, cables, NICs), however I am still experiencing issues.
Any attempts to make an inbound connection will fail until I go to the system itself and initiate an outbound connection. Simply opening up a web site will lead to everything working fine, yet within an hour inbound connections will fail again. There are no messages in Event Viewer indicating any problems. I have stupidly patched it by leaving CNN open in a minimized web browser since it automatically refreshes itself every 10 minutes or so, but I would like to figure out what is causing this and fix it at the root. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
