Help with a home Network

I live in a house where we're we have 5 computers hooked up to use the internet. My computer is running win2k pro, and I have 2 LAN cards on my machine. I have an onboard and one in a PCI slot. I've had problems where I would just randomly lose my connection, but sometimes it comes back if i switch cards, or i'd have to change the configuration and change the connection type from auto to 100 Full and sometimes that would work. I'm just at a blank of what the problem could be. Any ideas? Could it be a conflict with the 2 LAN cards? Should I try to switch the cables on the router? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Let me ask the first obvious question.....

Why do you have two lan cards?

[AllStarMe9783]

a while back my onboard lan wasn't working at all.. like.. back in september... so i dropped $5 on a new card to see if that would work.. and it did... then randomly my onboard started working again.. so.. i never took out the second one..

You might want to disable the onboard LAN card and see if it solves the problem.
