Vista SP2 machine losing network connection

Asked by Robmonster in Miscellaneous Networking, Windows Vista, TCP/IP

I have a Dell based Vista Business SP2 desktop PC.

Over the last couple of weeks it has begin to completely lose it's network connection.

I can open the Network Status dialogue box, and I can see the Received figure climbing, but Sent doesn't increase.

If I remove the network cable the system tray icon doesn't change to reflect a removed cable like it usually would. I cannot ping any address, either on the internet or on the LAN. I can ping the machines own IP, and localhost.

The only solution I have is to reboot the PC.

Any pointers, either on the cause or how to restore network services without a reboot, as I am at a bit of a loss.
