OS9 Internet Connection

[Rob Carruthers]

I have two OS 9 Macs on a network with 8 other OS X Macs and a couple 
of PCs. Every now and then the OS 9 computers loose there Internet 
connection and cannot receive emails. They are still visible on the 
network and if I boot into X the Internet works fine, return to 9 and 
no connection. If I change the IP address the connection returns, but 
its only a few Hrs and its gone again, change the IP address back and 
it returns. This will typically happen once every 1 or 2 days.
I have tried different CAT5 and 6 cables,  different web browsers and 
the problem remains.
I cannot see any pattern or reason.

G4 733MHz 1GB OS 9.2.2 connected to a 1000BaseT Switch.
G3 333MHz 768MB OS 9.2.2 connected to a 100BaseT Switch.
Both switches are connected and the Internet server is on the 100BaseT 
switch.

It is not a big deal, more of an annoyance. I don't like to get beaten 
and this has been going on for a while now and it is becoming a matter 
of principle.

Has anyone got any ideas?
Has anyone had this happen to them?
Any advice/information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob
