We recently got some dells with bogus off brand network cards in them (we specified 3com- not sure if dell or our purchasing fouled up). These bogus cards would not work with the 8 port switching hub they were connected to. We had to switch to a different 24port hub to get things running. The network would barely work (very slowly) and if you ran the built in net diag it would show many dropped packets (when connected to the 8 port switch).

The first Dell had intermittent problems in Windows 98, support was no help, but when it was updated to Windows 2000 the problem disappeared. Our latest GX240's lockup once a day on the network. Support said there are no issues but I found the issue on their web site. Installed new NIC driver, seem to help but not total answer. Support sent a restore CD and I used that on a couple of pc's, that has helped also. I feel the same way about ComPaq. They are worse.
