Workstations Dropping off Domain (Win2k server)

I am struggling here with an issue on my network. Every night since new years day
(yes I was at work hungover trying to fix this) it seems various workstations are
dropping off of the domain 1 by 1 at random times. When I go into the DHCP the workstation
is no longer listed. When I try to renew the IP address from the DHCP, it says that
the Ethernet adapter is disconnected, which of course it is not. Now the only way
I have found to get things back up and running is to restart the DC, then go to each
workstation and move it from the domain to a dummy workgroup, then re-add the workstation
to the domain with the default credentials. I know Im probably being vague, but I
can provide more info if anyone has any questions. Am I missing something here? Maybe
a DNS issue. Was there any virus's that have gone out since the year turnover? Please
help...

Hi, I have had the same issue with a faulty network hub. Try replace it and post
your results.

I had thought about this as well, but we just spend 60K on new servers and switches.
All the switches, hubs and routers are brand spanking new...

Hi, are all the switches of the same make and model, are you using cat5 or fiber
optic, what is the total cable length between the DC switches and workstations has
your network run stable for any length of time previously.
