Internet Connect/Disconnect Message

[jjy_lau]

Hey all...I have a problem and I was wondering if any of you can help me.

I have four computers in my house and all of them are connected to the Internet through a router. However, one of the computers connected to the router has a on/off Internet connection The one that can't connect is a Dell P3. The funny thing is when I move the Dell to a location of a different computer, it works fine and has Internet connectivity But when I move it back to its original location, it doesn't work and shows the disconnect message.

I've also tried using a different computer in the location and it works. But for some unknown reason, the Dell doesn't work in that location.

My router is a Dl-704P.

Please help. Thanks.

This may be a stretch, but take the Dell's NIC and swap it with one in another location. By your description, they should both work. Still makes no sense however. I could almost see it if it was wireless.
