Network basically stopped working and basically the ISP saying there is nothing wrong on their end and I did not see anything wrong on the server end. I brought it home to take a closer look but everything checked out.

I brought it back to the ISP and plugged it back in and it is back for now. They will continue to look into it on their side. Enjoy it while it lasts.

So the short answer is... gremlins?

ok, so we have to be patient. I wondered and I hope you do not think this is rude but there is a paypal address for the site, is there not?
just incase anyone wanted to make a dontation. I know that loads of users were fretting all over the place and I think it would be nice to contribute if anyone wants to.

Now I truly know what Morrissey was referring to in this line:
I can laugh about it now,
but at the time it was terrible
Why of course back in 1985 he was singing about the 48 hours when his fans wouldn't be able to access the frink forums on the moz-solo site on the internet.

Adding heatsinks, changing the ethernet port, and updating the Bios and kernel did not fix the issue as the network is still dropping. Contacting the manufacturer for support now, hopefully major surgery is not necessary.

That is so funny...I was at Sam's Club yesterday, and I saw "pre-cooked bacon.." and I wondered, who in the world would buy it pre-cooked.
Then I thought, "there's a thread I can start!"...But, I decided against it,
being bacon :sick: and all!
