Everything disconnects when moving files over the network

[crispy345]

Okay, had this happen today. 

 

My server is running 

a) My Minecraft server (about 2-3 players every hour)

b ) A FTP server (people check in every hour or so)

c) uTorrent, seeding (10 torrents ATM)

d) IP-cam server 

e) My 8TB's worth of storage space

 

Here's the problem that occured today. 

It happens at random, but escpecially when I stream/copy files to my main desktop 

At some weird moments the stream/file copy will lock up, and on my server all the users on my Minecraft server will be disconnected. 

 

I am using a Intel NIC, which has been working great since I got it, but sadly I have these problems now. 

 

I also tried to disconnect the switch at my computer room and run it directly into the NIC, but it didn't help. 

 

Any idea what might cause this?

I need to get it fixed fast, since I'm going to help out at a LAN party, which will keep me busy. 

 

The rest of the specs are in the BOTTOM of this thread

Thanks in advance,

are you maxing out the NIC?

are you maxing out the NIC? 

 

That's what I think is happening too, but thinking that it's worked pretty well (though with another motherboard) for a couple of weeks <del> I can't see that be the problem. </del>

 

Watched some of the network acticity, I don't think this is good. 

 

 

The top one is the Realtek one, while the bottom was the Intel when it was in use...

 

A lot of spikes yeah

 

Changed it out for the onboard Realtek, so far so good. 

Looks like I have to get another Intel NIC then... 

 

Thank you for the tip about the network activity, looks like I'll have to survive with the Realtek one for now.
