        Try resetting winsock.
        netsh winsock reset

          I read that as a laptop that was opening and closing on its own. I was going to suggest sprinkling with holy water.

            On a serious note, is there an updated driver you can apply to the NIC, or perhaps a driver was updated which broke the NIC?

              In the past year or so, I have had 4 ProBooks with flaky wireless. I found this when I pulled the back cover to reseat the wireless card. One of the leads wasn't properly fastened and it had been pinched by the cover when whomever installed it.

                    Tried, not sure if it stayed up long enough to accept it.

                        Tell power settings to not shut off the device to save power.

                        15 years ago I might have wondered if there was IRQ conflicts or something. Other drives stealing same resources.

                        Otherwise, it's not uncommon for networking to go out. There could have been a surge or something that make the electronics a bit wonky.

                          Strange question for Scott to ask....

                          Honestly, I would try updating firmware first -- given that it's not a network config problem.

                            Can't update firmware, it goes offline ever few seconds.

                              Both Ethernet and wireless connections do this? Have you dried disabling one interface at a time to see if one works over the other? I've had issues before where my laptop didn't like me leaving both the wifi and the wired interfaces connected at the same time.

                                Also, you can still update firmware man.. just download it from a different computer and then put on USB and the install from that..

                                        No wireless where it is. We are asking for it to be moved.

                                          Yeah, I've seen that a lot, too. I like the quick "power down the wireless" button on many laptops. Make it just go away when not needed.

                                            Network stops or the network drops?

                                            If it stops, try static config.

                                            If it drops, you got a flapping port on the switch. Set it to 10Mbps half, go up from there. Replace jack, swap port, etc.
