I've had issues before where my laptop didn't like me leaving both the wifi and the wired interfaces connected at the same time.
Yeah, I've seen that a lot, too. I like the quick "power down the wireless" button on many laptops. Make it just go away when not needed.

Network stops or the network drops?
If it stops, try static config.
If it drops, you got a flapping port on the switch. Set it to 10Mbps half, go up from there. Replace jack, swap port, etc.

same thing happens in linux os or safemode

Getting a remote bench guy in a factory to set up Linux on it, even a Live distro, would be non-trivial

Hmm, a laptop? Maybe the wireless on/off key is actually sticking on the keyboard? A can of air might fix this mystery.

I am assuming it has already been reimaged?

No, but I asked for that long ago.

Yeah that is normally the first step that is taken on a weird issue like this.

FINALLY got it moved to another location. Looks like it was the switch port.

As somebody else mentioned, set the Switch port to 10 megs / half duplex until you get the switch replaced -- or move their patch cable to another port.

@scottalanmiller time to call in a button monkey
That sounds like something you'd get at an Asian bath house

@wls-itguy it's anything with opposable thumbs that will follow instructions given over the phone without embellishment or omission.

Duplicate IP or bad switch or local port... possibly driver.
