Tell me about it. They are the worst.
The network adapter is on-board the M/B. Originally the M/B went back to the manufacturer and was deemed no fault found. Even though this was the case, this machine has had all of its hardware swapped for new parts to try and figure out what is happening, but to no avail.
Yes I agree that even though the hardware has been swapped, there could still be an issue with the new hardware, as I have had this in the past, but I do not think that this is the case in this situation.
I would think it was the server to, if all other machines we are building had the same issue, but they dont. Everything we have built before this problem system and after have all been ok. And If it was our server, why did it exhibit on our clients server 1st, who is running IPV6?
It maybe a case of dumping the system and specing up a new system with different hardware. Or alternatively, shipping it back to client as there is no real issue, that can be identified with the hardware, so it is deemed as a software fault, which looks like it lies within Windows 7.
17 Years in I.T. and never have I found such a frustrating problem.
chev, if you have any other suggestions. that would be greatly appreciated, but if you want to wash your hands of this, just say? It's not an issue and I can completely understand how difficult it can be to diagnose something from somebody else's descriptions.
Again, I very much appreciate your assistance on this.
