Specs should be current.
My on board LAN port failed quite some time ago, so I bought a TP-Link (TG-3468) to replace it for my Gigabit Ethernet network, and it worked like a champ (at least a year, likely longer I just don't recall). Then a few weeks ago BOINC reported no Internet access (it claims to still have network access but can't actually access anything on the network and it reports the network as Unidentified, when before it reported the network properly), and after trying to diagnose the problem (Windows 7, all updates to date, drivers updated as best I can tell) and either getting "no vaild IP address results" or "cannot diagnose the problem" (after manually putting an IP address and information), I just figured the card failed and replaced it.
The new card was a Syba Gigabit card (SD-PEX24009), plugged it in (in a different PCI-Express slot, just to be on the safe side), it worked immediately, updated drivers, it still worked, figured I was all set. 3 weeks later (today), the same exact issue and problem.
My network setup is from the ISP supplied router (wireless +4 Gigabit ports) to an unmanaged gigabit switch, to the problem machine. Every other device on the network is currently working with no problems (unmanaged switch has 2 ip cameras, a set top box and a blue ray player all connecting to the Internet properly). When I plug in my emergency WiFi dongle to the problem machine, it connects immediately to the wifi network and has successful Internet/Network access.
I'm fairly stumped, the machine downloaded GTA V recently over the connection with no problems, and both times the problem has occurred has been overnight when only BOINC has been running. As mentioned both cards have been in different PCI-E slots (one above, one below the GPU). Temps overnight via Real Temp peak at ~70° C. Also I tried switching cables on the off chance the cable somehow failed.
So, any thoughts?
