Have you run ipconfig after it stops to see what the output is? What protocol(s) are you using? What other machines are you connecting to? If you are using TCP/IP, can you ping the loopback (127.0.0.1)? Need more info.

I have run into this several time since I installed SP1 on my workstation. I will check ipconfig next time it happens. The quick fix though, besides rebooting, is to go into 'Network and Dial-up Connections' and disable and enable the network connection.

OP
Disabling / enabling didnΒ΄t help when last time I got this problem. I didnΒ΄t check ipconfig's output.
Here's my setup:
Only TCP/IP installed on W2K
One Windows 98 computer
One Linux conputer configured as firewall / router.

Did you try typing ipconfig/release or ipconfig/renew at the command prompt? it should work and saves time in rebooting. My connection occasionally drops out, it keeps block sync though and I just release and renew.
