I have about 4 new machines (all re-imaged) that will randomly drop network connections. At first It thought bad nic, but after installing new nic's they still dropped. Then I moved them to working cubicles to test the cords, jacks, etc, they still droppec. It seems to work for a while about 2-3 days (about DHCP renewal time) and then drops off again after I change the link speed and duples from auto or default to 100mb full or half. The only thing new is that there was a new switch installed a while back, but one of the computers was doing this before that new switch. Here is the error message. Warning
