I've been experiencing some issues with my Unraid rig losing its network connection every so often. It happens briefly, and when it does, I usually can't connect to the web interface and any streaming freezes until it comes back up.

 

Note: I've noticed this only happens when an application on it is being actively used. It doesn't happen overnight when everything is quiet.

 

Here are the relevant logs (with diagnostics attached) - I'm not sure what promiscuous mode is, but I can see that something is happening to my network device (eth0) during these times:

For anyone who stumbles upon this topic - changing the ethernet cable (assuming it was faulty) and disabling network bonding (I only have one interface) seems to have done the trick. I'll update if I notice it happening again.
