Last night as of 4 A.M.
Four computers was connected to a switch connected to a router which handles 2 more computers.
One computer's connection decided to go down at 4 A.M. I tried to check the physical connections and it looked fine. I tried re-arranging ethernet cables and nothing was fixed. I decided I would fix it the next day.
4:15 A.M.
My other computer (on the same switch as the other computer that recently lost its connection) just lost connection too. I thought something was failing. I checked the ethernet cables again and spent a little while being "down there" (where all the set up is). I couldn't fix it. I decided to go to bed since I lost all my connections. I went downstairs on my parent's computer (that is connected directly to the router). The internet worked on that computer, strangely. I put up an away message saying "There's a network failure. I will be unavailable." to let my friends know. So I went to bed...
12:30 P.M.
My parents woke up and went to use their computer. They woke me up and said, "The internet isn't working?" I was shocked. I went downstairs and saw the internet didn't even work. What is going on? Why is it that all computers intervally lose connection? I rechecked all connections and thought the final solution is to try to turn off and on the router's power. By dumb luck, it worked. All computers had their connections restored. Everything worked as normally.
So, anyone have any experience with this? What just happened here? Why did the router (DI-604) decide to knock off one computer at one time then knock off another at another? It seems strange to me.
Thankfully though, everything's working now.
