Greetings
I need help with a connection issue to a PC that has normal professional windows 7 on it but works as a server PC , this server PC handles 5 PC's on the network which are connected to the Server PC and the files they work on their own pc they work from the server so when they open a word,excel,powerpoint,jpeg any type of file they work immediatly on the file they dont copy the file from the server PC to their computer so all 5 computers continuesly work on the server PC.
Okay now here is the problem, they all can connect to the Server PC and all can use the files on that server PC but sometimes their PC loses connectivity to the Server PC it can't even see the Server anymore but when I go check on the Server , the Server can still see the Workstation PC , but the workstation can't see the Server-PC.All 5 computers lose connetivity at some point there , but there are 2 specific computers that loses alot more connectivity then the other computers. Keep in mind the Server-PC is anormal PC with a normal Windows 7 Professional it's not at all a Windows Server or a server machine they just use it as a Server for their files basicly.
The lan is Gigabit lan , I checked the ip , the workgroup , the subnet mask even some registry componments I changed. But it still does it. The only way it works again is when they restart the server pc and boots up again then it works until they suddenly lose connection again . it does happen to everyone at once it either happens to 2 pc's or 1 pc sometimes all 3 sometimes just 1 again it's a random sequence
Any idea what this problem could be and what would the solutions be to it hank you very much here is a picture when I try to connect to the server pc while it lost it's connectivity.
Here is what I already did :
1.Formatted the PC
2.Checked and replaced cables
3.Removed the Norton Internet Security with a special removal tool from work stations
What else could be the problem?
