I don't know the answer to your question. But further information might help someone
to figure it out.
When the XP machines are failing, do they all fail at the same time? Or do they
fail at different times, unrelated to one another?
When an XP machine is failing, if you run ipconfig, does it have an IP address on
the LAN?
When an XP machine is failing to access the internet, is it still able to access
other resources on the LAN?
Have you tried giving the XP machines static IP addresses instead of addresses through
DHCP?
