??? Never heard of that one. I've had on computer running 24/7 without a
reboot in weeks, and no trouble with the LAN.

I have to reboot my file servers here in the office regularly.
Sometimes once a week and sometimes once a month. Usually MS
updates do it for me though. One is a Windows 2003 Server and
the other is Windows XP Pro box.

I have one old HP Pavilion 6745C running MS Windows XP Home Edition, 24/7
and acting as a mail server. Never had problems accessing it, except when
the power supply died. Can't reboot from that until you replace the power
supply!
