Network Stops on XP Pro

[Steven Backus]

I have two machines with the same network problem. All of
a sudden the web, telnet and other applications stop
taling to the network. A reboot cures it for awhile, then
after a random interval the network applications won't
work. The lights on the card are blinking and the
networking shows active in the control panel, but nothing
works. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Steven,

Just before rebooting, see exactly what doesn't work.

Do both computers show the problem at the same time?
