I have a small network I am responsible for, with 4 switches and 8 servers. I've recently been trying to isolate a problem on that network that causes clients to lose their connection to one or more servers. The drop in the connection is only momentary, but still causes issues. The protocol is TCP. Since the switches were old I took the opportunity to converge 3 switches into 1, and replace network cables to the servers in question, yet the problem remains. I've been told that Wireshark can help me determine the issue, but as of yet I cant make heads or tails of what the output is really telling me, and what I need to be looking at.
Im working my way through the manual from Wireshark.org, but can someone give me a top 10 things to look for when Im scanning through these captured filters? Right now, it feels like a wild goose chase, and I dont even know what a goose looks like!
