Re: Problem with computer network dropping connection

if only 1 computer is impacted, these are the steps that never fail

1. replace cable
2. replace cable again
3. force full duplex
4. change switch port to a known good port
5. change NIC
6. replace NIC driver

when you change ports and NIC, clear arp cache or wait


yes, we replaced it twice.
The last time it happened.  I was able to get on the fileserver and
ping from there and saw no response.  I then pinged from my computer
and saw a response.
So now I'm thinking that the switch cache is getting messed up.  But I
don't know how it is getting messed up.  This is the second switch
that I have used.  So my assumption is that there is something on the
network which is causing the problem (probably this computer).- Hide quoted text -
