Hey peeps,

Having some problems with the Internet dropping very intermittently on a network. It drops at completely random times and each time can vary from 30 seconds to about 4 minutes.
I had thought maybe its a problem with the router originally but when the net drops if i go to one pc on the network and change its DNS setting from the server to the router's IP then that machine will get the net back instantly.

Which leads me to believe its something on the server causing the problem, to the best of my knowledge the DNS is working fine, but it is the only thing i can think of that could be causing the issue.

Have u guys any ideas?
