I'm not sure exactly what is going on right now. My hardware specs are below. The server will stay up for a random amount of time and all shares and remote access are unavailable. I set up syslog last night and lucky me it happened only like 30 minutes later. By my extremely amateur eyes, it seems like something with the NIC isn't working correctly?

I do not have parity setup yet as I wanted to wait until everything was ironed out so I'm not constantly dealing with parity rebuilds.

Attach Diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

Diagnostics attached.

 

I would like to add that my old server is using the same model NIC and is also connected to the same switch. I have not experienced a single loss of connection on that system.

So I've been reading over the syslog and it seems like the PCI slot for the NIC randomly became unavailable. Not sure why it would do that, but I'm going to try moving the NIC to the other PCIe slot and see if that helps. I did double check and I've got the NIC running on the latest firmware. As far as I can tell I think my network settings are OK too, but could be wrong?

Having a bond with multiple NICs with different speeds may slow down the faster NIC, if you don't see that, it should not be a problem.

Worth a try.
