Unhappy lost IP address

Hi All

got a wierd one for you all...

I have a pc on a standard network, setup with static ip (192.168.1.xxx) which runs ok. As of Saturday it started running slower, but still usable. Anyway then i get this message relating to running out of system resources at which point i lose my network connection.

The wierdness starts here: - I only know i lose the network connection 'cos i can't ping from or to the machine. When i run ipconfig /all it shows no ip address, not 0.0.0.0 but it is just blank.

If i right click the LAN in the bottom right corner by the clock it shows as 'connected' but when i clickl on the support tab it again shows that there is no entry in the ip/subnet/gway.

A repair fails as does ipconfig /renew, but in any case the IP is static.

Bizarrely when i look at network ploperties the ip etc is all still there?!

The only way to sort it is to reboot the pc. It then works for a few hours.... until..... doh!

PC is a Dell 2.6 celeron 256mb RAM running XP pro sp2 and all current patches. I have disabled WOL and powermanagement for the Nic, any ideas?! - never seen this before...
