I have a small network, only 10-20 connections. &nbsp;8 users. &nbsp;7 of these users use Timeslips, from the server, over a network connection. &nbsp;1 user is consistently frozen out. &nbsp;Sometimes it happens more often, but it's at least once per day. &nbsp;It's not during any specific Timeslips action or time of day, etc. &nbsp;Timeslips techs can't figure it out. &nbsp;All the other users have a stable Timeslips experience. &nbsp;So, it has me thinking that there may be some physical intermittent interruption to this user's wired connection to the network and server. &nbsp;I've never seen him offline, he doesn't lose access to other network resources, the &quot;red X's&quot; don't appear over his mapped network drives, and Timeslips shouldn't be THAT sensitive, BUT somehow I've still got this problem. &nbsp;Any ideas or help are appreciated.<br />
<br />
I'm wondering if there is a way to test/monitor his connectivity to the shared Timeslips folder on the server over a period of time to see if it cuts out. &nbsp;Can I run a test like this without affecting the other users (much) on the network? <br />
<br />
Thx

network connection consistency test

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
