Network Disconnection Problems

Hello,

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have two servers running Windows 2003 Standard. One is called MAIN and the
other is called WEB. They are both members of the CORPORAT domain. MAIN is
the file and print server and is the server where all the databases are
stored. WEB is the email and web server which needs to access the databases
on MAIN.

About once a day MAIN loses its connection to WEB. It seems that nothing
short of logging off and logging back on to MAIN from WEB will restore the
connection. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what I need
to do to prevent it from happening?

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

I have a similar problem to this one you are reffering to. With my problem I
was noticing the server was apparently logging off and I would find it
sitting at the ctrl+alt+del screen and I was confused on what it was doing.

I suspected a problem with the machine crashing and rebooting itself so what
I did was go into my computer | properties |advanced | startup /recovery and
I removed the check that made the computer reboot automatically on System
Failures.

Sure enough, I caught my server blue screening on me and that was causing my
mysterious log offs. You might want to check this out and see if its
happening to you!

Hi
Did you check the event logs to see if anything was failing? I
almost sounds like a DHCP issue with the server set to receive an I
address from a DHCP server and then the address is timing out an
waiting to get a new address

Or
verify that you do not have conflicting IP addresses (same address o
2 different machines)

Check the arp log- start/run/cmd/arp -

This will show you the mac addresses and the associated ip addresse
