Hi, please "try" to use additional dhcp reserved addresses also - your right Servers should have fixed / static Adresses. it may help But dont remove the power cable, that wont fix nothing.

I knew some Systems that even if the Nic is plugged to a switch and the Server / PC is plugged to the power the nics wont blink unless you start them (equal if completly to the os or just with the enter Bios key pressed) Mnyb wrote: > But keep the ideas coming , I'm not in a hurry is this is not disturbing > functionality in the day to day use. as d6jg also mentioned - the arpcache should be one of the things to sort out first. And you can use the trick with the reserved ips (in the dhcp / Router) to find out if it helps or not. To make that clear - i dont want you to enable DHCP or reserved Address in the server itself - just in the router!
