Windows 2003 standard Server and only XP professional timeout problem

I recently installed Windows 2003 standard. I have Xp pro, Win98 and Win95 workstaions on the network. All the workstations are connected and working on the network. The problem that is occuring is all of the XP desktop machines lose their network connection some time during the night. The fix is to just logoff and log back on in the morning to regain network connectively on the XP machines. I'm thinking there must be a setting either on the 2003 server or the XP desktop to turn this off. If any knows can they please tell me how.


Thanks for your help!

Take a look at the properties of your NICs. I'll bet that if you look under the Power Saving feature you will find that it is set ot allow XP to turn off the device. Uncheck that box and your computers should stay online.
