I have a server whose Internet NIC works for severall hours and then freezes. System event log shows nothing unusual.

If I try to disable or repair it from network connections, the dialog freezes.  Task manager shows the "Internet Properties" application is Not Responding,  but I cannot end it.  

Device manager freezes if I try to uninstall the NIC.

Only a reboot brings it back to life.  Then it works for couple hours upto a day, and it repeats.

I tried changing it from "automatically obtain.." to static IP addresses, but the same symptoms occur.

Any ideas?

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
