Device not responding

FYI - This is the Second GC

My myserver is in the basement, I was going to move it into the HT cabinet and connect it to the switch there. That will put the devices as close as possible. I highly doubt that will solve anything, but it cuts out some network stuff in the middle.

Update - Mucking around with stuff today and saw that the commands I learned were in the IR database in HEX.  I used the GC converter and converted them to GC format and they have fired without any issues.  I'm wondering if the HEX was causing some weird issue.  

Update - I had one error this evening where the GC reported that it was disconnected (same error as before).  I checked my ping log and none have failed.  When I hit the button to switch the input a second time. (a few seconds later)..it worked fine.

I also see this in the log...

Overnight the logs look like this...

Both Global Cache devices Disconnect at the same time and then reconnect 10 seconds later. I find it hard to believe it's the network, because it only is impacting those two devices out of 100+ devices connected throughout the house.

Here are the network stats on the myserver:

Looking at the overnight logs, Like clockwork, every three hours both of my GC Devices do a quick disconnect and reconnect. The Disconnect and Reconnect take ~10 seconds.

Update - I created the new network segment, the myserver connects to a 5 port switch and that switch connects to the GC Devices.  I set the GC devices to a static address (no DHCP on that segment) and changed the address in the GenericIR driver.  Everything seems to be working just fine....  I will keep checking the logs to see if the disconnect/connect behavior continues.

Update - It's been almost 24hrs and the devices are stable (no dropping).  I'm still unsure why there was a rhythmic issue (disconnects every 3-4 hrs) on main network.  None of the other devices are having an issue, and there are no usage issues (things not available, etc.).  

Update - 10 Days later and not a single disconnect.  Yesterday I ripped out all the URC equipment from the HT cabinet.  100% Allonis now.
