[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 1099628, member: 75318"] Hi Guys, Thanks for all the suggestions. Part of the problem was not being able to change from an "Unidentified network" to "Home network", it just wouldn't allow me to do it. After trying a number of things I found a small article on a Microsoft Support Forum >>[URL='http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357']here<[/URL]< I downloaded a small utility onto the server, and then ran it. Not sure what other stuff it did, but it changed the IP address to a number that isn't on my network. After running the script and turned everything off and on, and went back to the adapter and gave it a fixed IP address again. I could also change the network type too. The server has been running all night, and I have turned it on and off a few times this morning and I seem to be back to normal again... and still running at 1Gbps. Live TV seems more stable too.
