That reminds me...
Years ago I had the battle of all battles with my cable co.
I complained that somehow there servers where failing after having some much
throughput go thru the modem.
I made them replace the modem, the line outside. The checked a bunch of
there equipment.
It stopped for a period after they replaced the modem a second time. It
later can back in a few months.
I decided to strip down the machine, and low and behold a capacitor had
blown it's top and had leaked on the PC board.of my external NIC. I guess it
would build a charge over time and shut the card down. I replaced that card
and have never had any other issues of anything similar.
