Windows Xp losing connection to linux Server
|

| Hi.
Have this problem and any help would be great. Have a aLinux Redhat9
mail/internet server on a site, and users are running 98 machines.
Started upgrading to Xp, and then the problems started. Xp machines keeps
losing their connection to the Linux server i.e. cant receive mail or
browse the internet. For some reason the xp machines keep losing the IP
connection.
Xp machines are set to static IP's and users have to keep changing IP
addresses so the can re-connect to the linux server. Tried assigning
automatically and no luck.
Disabled the Firewal on SP2 on Xp machines, but no luck (dont know much
about linux).
Is it the firewall on the linux dropping the connection?
Any help.
Thanks!

This is a known issue with Windows XP and does not have anything to due
with Linux (google on 'XP losing connection' to see). Best advice I
can give you is to replace the Microsoft supplied NIC drivers with
drivers supplied from the manufacture(s) of the NIC cards.

In addition check at the computer systems manufacture(s) site(s) for
updated BIOS('s). I have a desktop system that would not play any
sounds with Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Linux sound works just fine. I
the updated the BIOS and this fixed the problem.
