Hi Dao,Are you using a laptop by chance?What are your power settings?Are you connected via Wireless? Is the computer going into Sleep mode?Check your Power Options. Set these setting to always on/max performance and see if it makes a difference.Do you have software installed for your Network card? Are the drivers up-to-date?I would make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC.If you have a laptop, make sure your Power Management drivers are up-to-datea as well. (ACPI)I hope these questions/suggestions get you started n places to look.Mark <> Microsoft Partner

I have that before, in Windows XP.I found that some HP drivers in Windows XP cause that.Tell me if you have IN ALL PC with Windows XP any HP printer driver.Tell me the model of the printer too. I have problems with HP T1100 Ploter.If so, uninstall that printer and the driver. The PC will no longer disapear from thy network map.However, even if you reinstall with new drivers, that issue will come up again. So the final solution, is to format and reinstall Windows XP, get NEW HP drivers and you are done!. It's a shame, I know. Use that drivers ONLY in PC that really need them. Paulo Miranda
