Found the problem. Someone had set up a Maxtor network storage
device on the same IP addr I was getting through DHCP.
Many thanks to those who responded.

plan is to use it as out file server, so I’ve got samba running on it, along
with vnc.

running fine, but every now and then _all_ the network connections to my >laptop
(running XP) disappear and can not reconnect for a few seconds: ssh, samba, vnc
– everything. A few seconds later everything is fine again (till
the next time). The weirdest thing is that I don’t see any
disruption pinging the box.

can’t see anything obviously wrong.

look to diagnose the cause I’d be very grateful.
