    Thanks for the detailed information.  We are now able to duplicate the issue using a Nighthawk S8000 switch.  After updating the firmware to the version I mentioned earlier, the problem went away.  You can now download 6.9.1-T119 here, and it should resolve the issue.  Please confirm if it works for you.

Further to Sandshark reply, I changed the NAS to DHCP this morning just to see if that would make any difference.

 

2 minutes into a large data transfer and again "NETWORK CHANGED" "No IP Address" "192.168.0.22"

 

There is a DEFINITE problem with OS 6.9.0. It is not my configuration causing this as I have changed my configuration to what you suggested.

 

Can someone PLEASE flag this up to the support people to investigate. I have a second RN 316 server that is awaiting a firmware upgrade and that is not going to happen until this is resolved.

 

I should know not to upgrade to .0 firmware updates. I was bitten on the bum recently with iOS upgrades on my watch, iPads and iPhones where none of them work correctly even after three software patches.

do you have shell-access to the box?

I did see link up/down alot in my dmesg.

If you can login to it, can you type 'dmesg -T' in it and see if the timestamps does tell you anything fun?

 

I have not started troubleshoot it yet, but, it might be a bug in the linux-kernel that is in use, but im not sure yet.

but from what I can see in my own logs, it seem like the OS thinks that the network interface is switching between up and down, that might explain your problems as well as my own.
