Hello all,
I am responsible for small network with a win2k server
and 8 win 2k clients. They are all connected to a D-link
switch (DES-1016D).

The problem is that the computer intermittently loses
contact with the server and Internet.
(The switchen sits behind a broadband router and a ADSL
modem.)

I have tested some things and do not find any errors. Now I
am suspecting the switch.
Is there any way to test the switch (except from swithing it
to anohter)?
The switch is unmanaged.

Grateful for any tip.

regards / Bengt C

Unfortunately now, I would switch to a little mini hub or another switch and
see if you have the same behavior. :( Check the event logs on the
client/server to see if in the system log you are seeing nic errors. I
always carry a little 5port mini hub just for this reason. :)
