Dropping off Network

Hi, Have setup SBS 2003, every so often a client computer drops of the
network for no reason and has to be rebooted, we have changed the cable,
changed the switch, even reformatted one client machine, we have 13 users,
but 10 licenses and have ordered another 10, would this be the cause or what
could it be

Any errors in the both client and server event viewer?

Hey Andrew,

SBS is extremely picky about it's licensing. I would lean towards this being
the problem as well.

Hope this helps,
