benyam_dessu,

1 Check the Cable and/or try a different one.

2 Try updating the NIC drivers.

3 In Device Manager,Right click the NIC adapter,select properties,if power management tab available.,then click to uncheck the option to allow windows to turn of the device for power save..

4 Try Reseating the NIC card or also try to seat it in different slot

5 check the cable length,try limiting it to less that 6 ft.

6 Try Flashing the bios

benyam_dessu,

Right click My Computer >> Manage >> Local Users and Groups >> Users >> Add the users of the computers you would like to connect with. Ensure the user name and password are the same on all computers.

I was running into a frequent issue attempting to network 98, 2k, and XP. The systems would connect fine, with the periodic exception of XP. To remedy the issue, all I had to do was run the Network Wizard on the XP machine, and everything was up and running again.

Hope this helps.
