Network disconnecting

[Jackpilot]

Help computer wizards.
When I fire up the computers they auto load GC and Wideclient.
The FS server shows 3 connected. All is fine.
Randomly, after a some 10 min, my GC-Engine-FMS disconnects, Server shows 2 connected. Closing and reloading GC or Wideclient has no effect.

Make sure power management isnt switching the Network card off mate that could be a reason.

Still does it.
When I fire all computers network is fully communicating, after 20 minutes or some the eicas fmc computer disconnects from the network as before.
Both that computer and the server indicate :
XX is not accessible. You might not have permission blah blah..The network path was not found.
This seems to happen since I put a video card in the eicas computer( was an onboard vid before) and added the FMC.
Any idea

Jack,
Run PM filecheck. It will should show the offending IP. Ensure that all pm & FSUIPC/Wideclient .ini files are correct. I had this one and re installing FSUIPC & wideclient corrected the problem. Most likely I corrupted a file during shutdown. Also look at folder shares. I boot the main pc, then the connect pc's. You might have an older wideclient on the offending machine.

Try a updated driver for the network card. There might be a conflict between the video card driver you just added and the current network driver. Or the current driver might be corrupted.
