Hi everyone,

  I have a strange problem with a network that I support.  About 1/2 weeks
ago a couple of users started having network connectivity problems (i.e.
computers slow, outlook problems, and internet access problems).  They are
running windows 2000 server and microsoft exchange.  This preluded some
network printer problems also.  I have narrowed the problems down to
computers and printers losing network connectivity but I can't figure out
why.  For instance, about 4 HP laserjet printers on the network(JETLAN
boards) work for about five minutes after restarting them but then they
lose network connectivity and thus can't even ping them.  I think this is
occuring for all printers with JETLAN boards but I can't be certain of
that.  In addition, two out of approx. 40 clients have the same issue.

As you can see this doesn't seem to be a network wide problem but it is
effecting both clients and printers.  The strange problem here is that
printers are also being effected along with client computers.  I think if
I can solve the printer issue it will also fix the client problem (i.e.
the problem of client and printers are related(.


All suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
Marty
