We all know Try the Simple Sh!* first...  It seemed as though, refering
to how the questioned was asked, that this individual had already done
the rudementery troubleshooting.  I could be wrong, and if that is the
case, then I appologize.  With that said, the power settings on NICs
seem to cause problems and can be linked to many problems caused at
customer sites.  Greg is right, if you haven't already, check the Simple
Sh!* first.

or its something simple like her local power configuration or =3D3D
screensaver.

I get calls every day that begin "my screen keeps going blank when I'm =

=3D3D not using my computer"

I would check that first.  If you go through the spectacle of elaborate
=3D3D network diagnostics with cable testers and the like and it turns =

You might try moving the users patch cable from one Port on your
Hub/Switch to another.  Switch ports can go bad, however, it is a rare
thing to happen.  Other than that, I would slap a cable tester on the
line and check for continuity, etc.  One last thing, you could sniff
that portion of the network.  That would give you a great indication of
whether you have a chatty NIC or if there is another problem.  Most
likely, though, it is the user's NIC and / or configuration of the NIC
in the OS. =3D3D3D20

I have one user in a remote office that is having timeout issues when
she steps away from her desk. There are no timeouts specified in her
user account, or on the citrix server, and no other users in that office
is having a problem. The user is on WinXP pro, using a custom ICA to
MF1.8a.  I'm starting to think that something might be wrong with her
NIC or Cat5 drop. Any advise? =3D3D3D20 John Knightly =3D3D3D20
