Networking oddities

[sfmartin]

I set up Fed 10 and Amahi 4 several weeks ago to serve as backup and file storage; after a few problems with install (my mistakes) I have it up an running and have moved over some files, can access the server through the 3 PC laptops in my house (2 XP pros, 1 Win 7). Trying to go headless, but having trouble getting VNC setup properly (my mistakes) ... anyway, last week I lost my wireless networking, reboot the Ambit modem/router, all the usual connection suspects, call Time Warner Cable, they reset me, I reboot everything and I'm working again. The next day it blinks out again; I begin to suspect my server so I disconnect it from the router, reboot router, I'm good; reconnect server and a couple hours later my connection is on the blink again; so disconnect again and leave the server disconnected and have had no problems for several days.

I know this could be a modem/router problem, but my gut tells me I've done something with my server that is causing these problems. I want this to work, but my incompetence may doom this experiment.

Any ideas out there?

Have you turned off DHCP on your router?

If you are serving DHCP from both your router AND your HDA you will get problems.
