January 9, 201016 yr Hi guys, Have just had a rebuild of the hardware of my server, and a funny thing has cropped up. The Server continually drops LAN connection and then reconnects every 15 - 20 secs, I only noticed it was doing it when I saw my Windows PC UPS monitoring software kept loosing communication with the unraid server as it monitors. I was running 4.5 Beta 6 for months, and never had this issue, and have now rolled back to Beta 6 and the problem disappeared immediately, so there appears to be something not liking the NIC (Realtek 8111b). Anyone else had this issue? the board i just moved out of the server ran the 8111c NIC and didn't have the problem, so trhe plot thickens somewhat. The MB isn't validated yet, but so far so good (Gigabyte EX38-DS4 - was lying around gathering dust) but doesn't appear to be a MB issue as Beta 6 is runnign flawlessly.
January 9, 201016 yr Author Update: NIC is exhibiting same behaviour under beta 6 now - must be a flaky nic - might have to try an add on card and see if that fixes it. sorryfor wasting anyones time.
