I am having a problem with my XP from Dell (as mentioned above in previous posts)
dropping off of the network. I was focussing on my switch and cable integrity until
reading these posts, makes me wonder if Dell or Win XP are the culprit. What type
of system is yours? My connection seems to reestablish with unplugging and replugging
the data jack from the cable booster.
