@gslack,

I do not use Windows on any of the PCs on my network. They all have (single-boot) Ubuntu 10.10.

I have this issue with two different machines (that have the same on-board Intel network-adapter) each time I upgrade the Linux kernel version. The reason for this is because the non-working driver (version 1.0.2-k4 for the e1000e NIC) in the kernel updates has never been replaced with a newer working version.

((The other machines on my network use PCI NIC cards from different vendors, and do not exhibit this issue).

I have been able to consistently fix the problem by updating the network adapter driver, using the steps I described above.

I suggest you check if there are newer drivers available for your NIC.
