281019 2004-10-28 04:54:00 do you have access to the server? you could try changing the IP lease time to 1 minute, that's what I do to diagnose a fault with a "rapidly changing" network. See if the problem happens immediately. Also if you don't want to do that, try ipconfig /renew to renew all DHCP leases. Then see if this causes the problem. Bletch (244)
281020 2004-10-28 04:58:00 that should be ipconfig /renew on the workstation system. The 1 minute DHCP thing won't take effect until the next time the lease is renewed Bletch (244)

It was the DNS. It was set to the ISP DNS, not the local 2003 server.
Even though this allowed the PC to login, but somehow it got tangled over time and eventually would fail in ten hours or so.
Changed the DNS to the ip of the local server and it is now fine.

281024 2004-11-24 02:09:00 Makes for a trickey one to trouble shoot. Would have been easier if it hadn't worked full stop. mikebartnz (21)
281025 2004-11-24 03:51:00 Exactly. Stopping after ten hours is very annoying.
