Urgent Network Issues

Hello, around last month we started to lose lan connections to our NAS.
We wanted to replace it anyways since it was old and did not have
encryption.

So we moved the data to the boses machine and we have still experienced
lan drop out so here is a list of what has been tried and replaced.


1. router replaced
2. switch replaced 2x
3. switched out machines new machines still drop
4. added new nas nas still drops
5. changed from wired to wireless still drops
6. changed network cards. still drops


Please help.

Try turning off ALL power saving settings on ALL connected computers.

By "drops", do you mean the share disconnects? Or do you mean you cannot
ping that machine? By name? By IP?

This could also be due to a software (personal firewall?) you have loaded on
each machine. Any chance of that?

Hi
Changing from Wire to wireless is not necessarily a general indication.
Start by connecting two computer to the switch with new commercially made
wires.

Hi

Please drop the microsoft.public.msmq.networking newsgroup from the thread
as the MSMQ guys won't be able to help as much as the other networking
newsgroups already involved.

Cheers

seems my messages weren't getting through. I connected the computers
static ips to the switch with new cables and they still drop.

IS there a program i can install on the computer to monitor the network
and report what happens like wireshark? would wireshark be good to trac
what computer is causing the network to drop?
