NIC problems. Route fails, only disable/enable helps!

[josma]

Hi,

i have a weird problem on my Win 2003 system. When the route fails i can't of course go out on the internet. But when i disable and enable the NIC it's working again.

What service is responsible for the NIC? Maybe the service is making problems!

Any idea?

Explain what you mean by "When the route fails" ? What happens when it drops? Limited or No connectivity? Do you still have a valid IP? Can you ping your gateway and 4.2.2.2? What is your network setup? I've seen this before when disabling/re-enabling the NIC helps. I've seen it be a driver problem and a hardware problem in the pass.
