NIC receiving after repair, going down again after few hours.
I received my new Dell poweredge 2950 server. The server is basic with dual Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE onboard.
After installing windows 2003 R2 with all updates and latest drivers from Microsoft and Dell I connected one of the onboard nic's with my lan (192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0 with gateway 192.68.1.254/255.255.255.0) and the other with the internet-WAN (92.66.203.xx/255.255.255.24
Now in first instance both nic's are connected and everything looks good. only after a period of time the Internet-WAN NIC failes at sending data. Receiving doesn't seem to be a problem.
repairing the connection looks to solve it but after a few hours it will go back into only receiving mode.
Between the Internet-WAN card and internet there is only one cisco 878 router.
any suggestions?
I tryed:
- a new install, but the same problem.
- using a 3rd network card(INtel Pro/1000 PT), same problem
- switching ip with nic (LAN with other broadcom and WAN with LAN), same problem
- switching between ports on the cisco, same problem (other servers connect and stay connected using the ports of the router and using the same ip)
- updating drivers and bios, same problem
The server is now in use as domain controller and exchange server (small company).
That's why I need a relyable connection with the internet.
Hope someone has an id,
if there is need for more information, please let me know.
Kind regards,
