Switch Failure

by taylorjes . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I run a small office network for my dads
company; nothing too complicated. MS Win Server
2003 SBE, 10 Xp Pro SP3, and a few other
things. My current problem is that I’m at
school and the network is 6 hours away. The
office called today to tell me that they had a
‘network cable disconnect’ error upon login and
they have no shared
resources/internet/Exchange. I’ve gone through
some basic restart and pray and now I’ve
isolated the switch as the issue.

My Question is what are the failure rates of a
switch; should I be concern as to the
environment for future problems? What a
reliable replacement? General advice?
