Since the North-east blackout, I have had this problem with several of the computers in my office.
-The mapped drives on the client machine disconnect, and the machine returns to system beeps for events.
-Access to shared folders, the internet, messenger and email are unaffected.
-I have no connections listed under network properties until I pull the network cable from the NIC.
-Uninstalling and reinstalling the NIC returns the connection, but only for a few minutes.
-Clicking on the mapped drive returns the error message that no network is present.
-Replaced hubs and checked all cabling.
-Restarted server and checked necessary services were started on both client and server
-All machines had surge protectors and UPS's.
Any advice would be appreciated. My next step is to replace the NIC's in all the affected machines.
