This is why I don't like MS.....

Running Win2k Server

We had that problem with the server not responding after a period of no 
traffic.  The server itself wasn't asleep it seemed that i just refused to 
take network traffic.....

I was trying to figure out why it was doing this so I went into Device 
Mananger and opened the propteries of the NIC.  I saw something funny, a 
tab that said "Power Management".  Click on it an LOOK....

A freaking checkbox labeled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to 
save power".

Unchecked it and now everything is great! Well as good as it can be....

Is there a reason that MS feels that this is an "Option"?  Does the power 
that that card uses really make THAT big a difference?

What a bunch on monkeys.  I'd like to meet the retard engineer that thought 
up that idea....then point out that 99% of W2k server installs are for web 
or file servers that NEED TO HAVE NETWORK CONNECTIVITY!
