Original and current is XP Pro. Never changed. Most MS updates short of SP3, same as the rest of the laptops.

M ________________________________ From: Paul Everett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 6:37 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network I have a Latitude D620 that started having connectivity issues. It will work just after it's turned on for about 5 minutes and then no network anything (local or Internet). Sometimes it will spontaneously start working again, but usually not. Sometimes if I "repair the local area connection" it will work, but usually that fails also. If I "disable"/"re-enable" the adapter it will always work, but only for a short period of time. When it is happening, I can ping the machine and get a mixture of "replys" and "timeouts". The only error in the error logs is when the "repair the local area connection" fails. I get event id 1003 from dhcp saying, "....unable to renew address from the network..... The following error occurred: The semaphore timeout period has expired. Your computer will try to continue to try and obtain an address............" The Dell tech thought it sounds like a software issue and we tried everything. Reinstalling the nic driver, stopping unnecessary services, ruling out cabling issues, etc. Finally he suggested, for no specific reason, to try the laptop outside of our network. So, I took it home last night and low and behold it worked fine without having any connectivity issues. I was using the same Domain user account. I would love to have some ideas on what may be going on or how to fix this. I have other laptops just like this and they are not having any issues,... yet. Thank you, Paul Everett IS Dept.
