Hi all, I don't know if this is a Windows issue or a Switch issues. Here's my problem We have a 24 port cisco 2950 switches connected to 15 windows 7. One morning when the staff power on the computers in the morning and 5 of them fail to connect to the network at the same time. What I've done so far is to change the speed back and forth, turn off the computers unplug the power cord and network cable for 5 minutes and nothing change. I switched the nic cable with a working workstation with a non-working pc, nothing change on the non-working station. what could it possible happened? Can it be a bad Nic card? if that's the case, is it possible to happened to 5 of them at the same time? I also switch the port on the cisco switch but no luck? Does anyone come across a similar problems like I have. Oh on the connectivity on the bottom right was showing an exclamation mark on the network symbol. thanks in advance if someone can point me to the right information how to fix the issue.

can they work together? I've been playing with these settings on Windows 2008 R2 gpo and windows 7 and if both apply then gpo settings break. What have I done wrong? If I remove the man profiles setting then the gpo settings apply but as soon as I apply the man profiles on a user account then only certain gpo apply but not all. Here's an example: I created gpo setting with a shortcut and wall paper, restricted users to modify the task bar, access to the c:\ drives, map a network drive and ect.. If a user log on with out Man. profile then everything works as it should. As soon as I apply the Man. profiles and log off and back on to windows 7 desktop, the only thing I can see is the background still apply, but not the rest. The user can access the c:\ drive and can see the network neighbor. Can someone point me to the right information? Thanks!
