I have a personal home workgroup comprising of my primary Windows 10
PRO workstation, some LIVA mini computers I use with TVs and some
laptops and wireless phones. Wireless is handled by a UniFi
AP-AC-Pro. I have single router plugged into a CABLE modem and into
Netgear gigabit switch. I have a couple of network printers and a
HDHomerun TV turner running on the network. This is a new house with
a recent ... within the last three months ... setup. My primary
workstation is a new clean install of Windows 10 PRO. The network
works great EXCEPT for my primary workstation. It was working just
fine and I do have a Acronis image file from that time = a month ago
which I may be forced to restore but I would like to find a lasting
fix for this.
My workstation keeps losing network conductivity. One hour I think I
have fixed the problem but 18 hours later I can't connect to other
members of the LAN or the printer won't work, or lan members can't
connect to the workstation but the workstation can connect to them.
The workstation always has internet and that tells me that the
hardware is working although I have swapped out and checked the
switches. I have checked every setting on the NIC. I ran windows
troubleshooter and it came up with a problem with the virtual
network. I thought I found it so I completely removed VMware player.
And it worked again ...but for a matter of hours. Then I just removed
the NICs with their drivers, rebooted it reinstalled and everything
worked but 17 hours later I can not print to the network printer, and
while I can access other members of the LAN they can't connect to me.
Any ideas? Is there software that can diagnose this? Should I just
give up and restore my working backup? Thanks!
