My PC (windows &nbsp;7) from time to time looses connectivity to one speciffic server. I.e i can't ping that server. This normally lasts a few minutes. During this time i can ping all other servers and my pc can be pinged from other computers. Also note that while i cannot ping this server, it can be pinged from other computers. <br />
<br />
Note that all computers, including all servers are i the same subnet and there is no routing involved.<br />
<br />
1) Does anyone know what may be causing this?<br />
2) Is there any tool that can help me troublshoot this? Is there a tool like tracert (layer3) but for layer 2 &nbsp;that shows the path that the ICMP packet takes? i.e the switches it goes through?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

My PC (only) is loosing connectivity to one server (only) within the LAN

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
