Remote boots intermittently

[Gerald Fay]

I connect using the built in Remote in XP to several
computers at work. This is done with a VPN connection.
Occasionaly one of the computers will reboot. (Not
frequent, but definitly annoying. It is always the same
computer.

That computer has a Samsung LCD monitor and runs
Samsungs "MagicTune" software for every logon.
Inevitably the software fails to load with an error
message, but the system otherwise works fine until it
hangs and reboots.

Is there a common reason for such an occurance?
Should I change any settings in the rdp which would
prevent this?

Thanks

I would update all the drivers, patches and software on that one computer if
it is the only one that is doing it.

Noted some intermittent problems with plain network
connections to the server on this machine. All this has
happened in the last week.

Discovered that the Marvell Network Card updated drivers
from Windows Update just before this happened. Suspect
these drivers are bad.

My Asus A8NSLI Premium board actually has 2 NIC's so
chose the second (an Nvidea). Now all seems OK.

Thanks
