Windows 10: Network connection drops while on cable

I have the following setup:

2 x windows 10 and 1 X windows 7 computers connected to the same router through cable having 192.168.0.1 as the router gateway.

1. win7-box: 192.168.0.38
2. win10-box1: 192.168.0.211
3. win10-box2: 192.168.0.24

I am connecting from win7-box, which I'm using as the main machine, through RDP to the other 2 win10 machines.

The connection to 192.168.0.211 runs smoothly but when I connect to 192.168.0.24, the connection gets interrupted after 30-60 seconds and I get the "This computer can't connect to the remote computer" error:



While ping 192.168.0.24 -t from 192.168.0.38 was running I got this:



Even if after the The connection has been lost error that corresponds to the Request timed outping error - the connection seems to be restored (as ping is up again), if I try to RDP again I get the "Destination host unreachable" error.



Now I cannot RDP to 192.168.0.24 anymore until I manually log into this host by physically using its keyboard.

I also did a ping 192.168.0.1 -t on 192.168.0.24 and noticed the General Failure error that corresponds to the Request timed out from the win7-box



I also noticed that I get the General Failure error intermittently, even if don't try a RDP connection on this win10-box2 machine.

What I did:

1. I tried a Network Reset from the Network&Internet settings:

1. Tried switching the cable itself and the cable port on the router
2. Tried using a different static ip, other than 192.168.0.24
3. Tried using the wireless connection to the same router and noticed that even if do get some isolated Request timed out error when continuously pinging win10-box's ip, no issues are found and RDP connection is stable.

I assume this has to be something wrong in my current win10-box2 configuration as the router seems to be working fine on other devices.

The network configuration on win10-box2 is as follows:



The question would be - what else should I try/check in order to solve this issue?

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

 

Internet connection dropping

I had already tried this and it did not work. I did find an updated driver for my adapter (Realtek) and so far no more problems. Thanks for the suggestion!
