I've got a SiteCom network switch - 8 port - that connects to each machine and to the broadband router (which only has 1 ethernet port). I've been running the network 24/7 since the New Year with a break for my holiday. When I first came back, the switch wouldn't power on properly. Now it intermittently cuts out all network traffic! I came back today and most of the day's network tasks have reported errors or delays. The switch has been on the UPS since before I went away (with the router) and the machines themselves are running fine. The router itself indicates the problem because the network connection light goes off - the ADSL indicator and connection indicator stay on. All I can do is power-cycle the switch and hey presto it comes back to life. The problem is that the entire point was to keep the system running and connected to the internet 24/7. Do I need to replace the switch? (All ports are affected, it's not dodgy cables or bad connections.) It doesn't get particularly hot. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
