We are having this random problem where on some machines the Internet and mail connection goes down but the connection to network drives, Remote desktop, ping etc remains active.  If I unload SEP, first disabling SEP in the system tray then running smc -stop the connection returns.  WE are running the latest?? SEP 11.0.6000.5500 and the affected machines are all up to date.  For browsing we use firefox 3.63 and outlook 2007 but I think the problem persists in IE 8.  Any light on this would be appreciated

What features of SEP are installed on these systems? Is this happening with wired, wireless or both?

Check out this KB -

Is it possible to run Wireshark and collect a packet capture when your internet connection is lost? Be sure to browse your network drives durring this capture.
