September 16, 20241 yr I added a 10GB nic to my server a few days ago. It's only this Nic Card plus the Onboard NIC. I thought i had configured everything properly as it was all working fine for the last couple of days. I still had access to my server early this morning (4-5am EST) but by lunch time all of a sudden i cannot access the GUI. Couldn't access any network shares or anything. Tried switching the cable to the onboard and still could not reach it. Anyways - i tried to read up on potential issues but not the strongest with troubleshooting via command line. I deleted the network config files from the USB on another computer and i am up and running again. I did notice in my router it was set to DHCP and i've changed it to reserved now. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. Attaching diagnostics with the hope one of you amazing peeps could help me understand what went wrong and if i need to take action to prevent it from happening again. tower-diagnostics-20240916-1304.rar
