i have share my internet connection using 2 lan cards through a cross crimped cable.
sometimes the internet on my 2nd pc (containing 1 lan card) does not work.then when i try to disable my internal lan connection between 2 pc's from the main pc (containing 2 lan cards) the pc justs abruptly restarts as if the lan card was hung.after restart all is working fine.
 
prolly a driver problem. If your computer randomly restarts it could be your ram.

Random computer restarts can also be due to Power Supply failing, or overheating. So check those out too as a possibility.
 
it restarts only if i disable my internal lan connection...not just randomly.
 
If your using XP or 2k Right click my computer goto properties then to Advanced then look for start up and Recouvry in there is an Auto Reboot make sure thats not clicked so if its a computer problem you will see a blue screen or error message before it trys to reboot this will give you a clearer answer
 
You'll need to restart your 2nd machine after your main machine is switched on or it won't be looking in the right place for the network.
 
i did wat frontline had said of disabling auto restart and i got a blue screen saying
an error has occured in file ENO.sys.
page fault in non paged area.
 
As was mentioned, this sounds like a driver problem. Uninstall, reinstall the nic in question. If that still doesn't work, see if you can find some old drivers for the network card, and use those.
 
I agree with XOR, a driver issue. Head over to PCStats for their beginner's guide on BSODs for a little background info:

If you can't sort it with the latest drivers, try swapping the slot that the card is in, and if that doesn't work, try swapping the machine that its (in if neither of them are onboard lan cards).

Failing that, junk the card, it may be faulty. :(
