That won't necessarily do it for you. Go into your Local Area Connection properties. Then under the 'Connect using' click configure.
The power management tab there. If it is checked 'Allow the computer to turn off this deivce to save power' then you will have odd, intermittant network connection issues. A client initated connection, such as an email check, will 'wake the connection' long enough to do something then power management will sleep it. Combine this with a Cisco spanning tree protocol on the switch and you haev a recipe for really irritating logon times or strange Outlook issues' in the XP days.
