Problem Keeping Connection to switch

Hi,
I have been having problems with my switch suddenly not working. I have 3
other switches of the same brand (Earlier models) which all work fine. The
first time it happened I got a replacement switch and same thing; it worked
for a couple weeks and then dropped all connections. I did extensive testing
with the manufacturers tech support and the only thing that worked was after
I updated the NIC driver it reestablished connection. I thought that was it
but today it went down again.

All the lights are green, power cord is good, port plugged into other switch
is good. Static or Dynamic it doesn’t matter how the IP is assigned. No other
computers lose connection just the ones in this switch. What I was wondering
is if it may be the newer switch which causes this since the older ones work
OK. Below I will list the models I have which work and the one that doesn’t.
Hopefully someone has come across this because I am at a loss of what may be
causing this.

Working – Dell Power Connect 2124 & Power Connect 2016
Not Working – Dell 2324
Thank You,
Matt
