have a Microsoft MN-100 wired router. When i hav my other computers
hooked up to the router it works just fine. But when i hook up my other

computer. After about 5 min my router losses connection to all of the
computers. But when i unplug my computer, the other computers get their

connection back and work perfectly fine and never lose connection. I
have a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC onboard my
computer. I think that my configuration on this computer might not be
right.
what is getting me is, Its just this one
computer. None of the others have a problem. I have my router here next

to me. And when i lose connection, i just unplug the bad computer and
plug it back in and it has its connection back.
I was hoping that someone could help me out?

What are the exact symptoms? Are you talking about your ability to share
files/folders/printers on the LAN, or to connect to the Internet?

And is the MS device configured as a DHCP server on your LAN?

No, I just cant keep a connection on one of my computers. Say if my
third computer isnt pluged in, and the other 2 are pluged in, both of
those computers keep their connection. But when i pplug in my thrid, 5
min later all of the computers lose connection. Then when i unplug the
3rd computer from the internet, the other 2 computers get their
connection back, and keep their connection. It seems that my 3rd
computer is the prob.

Then you will need to examine your router's config. I presume you're using
NAT, right?

You could post in an MS hardware group for more help as this doesn't seem to
be an XP issue.
