We have a prosignia 200 Server that at the same time every night, the network card reports to the event viewer that it lost connection. The server is isolated and is locked in a room and personnel are at home.

We have no indication of any eventsthat are running that would interfer with the NIC. If anyone has seen this or can point me in a direction would be great.

Also, the server is not running SNMP and the back-up runs later in the night.

Thanks in advance

The obvious first step would be to put another NIC in there and see if it continues to happen. If it's happening at the same exact time each night, that doesn't sound random.

Two avenues to pursue here.

1. Is there any other software or service that runs during the period in question? (An anti-virus scan for instance or a diagnostic)

2. The problem could be outside the server such as the network itself. Try connecting another PC to the same drop as the server (get a small hub if needed) to see if it experiences the same problem. There may be something on the network itself causing the problem (like a switch or router doing some diagnostic or dropping off-line during a UPS self test).

good luck

I will give the above a try and see what happens. There are no services running and I'm not sure what they may have done all ready.

Thanks
