Recently co-workers have been experiencing random connection drop problem with one of the servers. If I ping the server 10 times in a row from my windows client machine, I can see quite a few of them fail to get reply back. At this moment I am trying to decide if the problem is in the network between the server and the client machines or in the server itself. My question is, if I can always successfully ping the IP of the server from the server itself, can I say that the cause of the intermittent ping failure from other computers is likely in the network and not in my server?
Check speed and duplex of the server interface, its values must be the same of the switch port it is connected. A combination of half-duplex and full-duplex usually cause that behavior. If they are set to auto detect or something related, force them to a value just to be sure they are locked on the same parameters. – jcbermu – 2015-04-17T08:02:09.220
