WIN98 Reboots at startup

[Guest_imported]

I have a client PC that reboots itself after logging into the network. It happens every morning. if he lets it sit for a while at the Network login, sometimes it works. For example he'll turn on the PC grab a cup O Joe, and then login, usually no problem. But if he tries to login as the screen comes up, it'll reboot itself. I have updated the NIC drivers and done all of the "required updates"of the Microsoft Windows Update page. Can anyone think of anything else? Thanks

Possibly a flaky NIC. Are you running DHCP? Are the client machines getting their IP's correctly? Are there any duplicates? Cheers,
Jim

Reset the IP address on the NIC.If the Nic card won’t let you change (release) ip address on it go to the DOS prompt and type in WINIPCFG /ALL
When it shows you the list of switches look for Release. Release All . After that got the Renew switch and Renew_All. Than reboot your machine.
