Need some guidance on a Networking issues that started a few days ago and I am not sure how to how to troubleshoot. Problem - Every two minutes or so I lose the ability to access the internet, web surf, streaming audio RDP connections, VOIP call are cut off and so on. This last about 20-30 seconds and then connections are restored. The odd thing here is, the internet connection stays up and does not appear to be the problem I have monitored the router and all is well, I have called Time warner and had the connection tested. Although I loose RDP connection, I don’t lose my VPN connection. Troubleshooting- I disconnected EVERY Device from the network and only attached the PC to the router and the PROBLEM disappeared. I then began to plug in devices one at a time every two hours or so to see what device was the problem. After all was said and done, I have identified my READYNAS PRO is the cause of the problem. Each time I unplug it from the network everything returns to normal. Just in case there was an IP conflict - I have change the IP. Just in case the RJ45 cable was bad - I have changes the RJ45 cable Just in case the NAS Ethernet port went bad - I moved to the secondary Ethernet Port on the device Just in case the Ethernet port was bad on the switch, the NAS connection was moved to another port. How can I find the cause of this problem?5.3KViews0likes9Comments
