Hello!
I have a Linux box with Linux Mint installed that runs some network programs, I also have two switches in my LAN, one in my "office" (bedroom) and one in a cupboard...
If I connect (over ethernet) the Linux Mint box to the first one, it will be online forever. I can ping it, use VNC (I have a fake display plug) to connect to it etc. but it is sitting in my bedroom, making noise and heat.
If I move the box to the cupboard and connect to the second switch (also over ethernet), the connection drops after some hours (maybe half a day or a day or so).
If I just de-connect the ethernet cable and plug it back in to the switch, the connection comes back on.
I also have a Synology NAS on the "cupboard" switch, and it has no de-connection problems what so ever.
Both the switches are on the same subnet.
I just don't know what to do, any idea how to fix this or what to even search for?
Cheers !
Valmond
