NIC "timed out" error

br flag

Ubuntu 18.04, I get about a dozen or so of these a day:

Jul 17 21:58:29 [servername] NetworkManager[929]: <info> [1626577109.7049] connectivity: (enp3s0) timed out

I was getting these on the built-in NIC on the motherboard, so I replaced that with a daughter-card NIC, and disabled the onboard NIC, but I am still getting the same problem. I have replaced the network cable, still no joy. Router is essentially brand new. Any thoughts?

enp3s0 is the one giving me problems. enp2s0 almost never gives a timeout. The original onboard NIC is now disabled, so it doesnt seem to show in ifconfig.

@heynnema "Do you currently have 3 ethernet ports... one on-board and two PCI?" Correct. "How did you disable the on-board port?" ifconfig eno1 disable "Why is enp2s0 only running at 100Mb?" Uhm... I dont know, that may be an important part of the puzzle. Its got a new cable, and I have switched it out with another new cable and it made no difference. The router is a Linksys WRT3200ACM.

What NIC do you have? What is the output of `lspci | grep Ethernet`? Also, what is the output of `sudo lshw -C network | grep configuration`? I am asking this because a Realtek RTL8168 chipset using the r8169 driver can give unpredictable behavior.

Please edit your question and show me the full `sudo lshw -C network`. Do you currently have 3 ethernet ports... one on-board and two PCI? How did you disable the on-board port? Why is enp2s0 only running at 100Mb? Bad cable? Are you using cat 5e or cat 6 cables? Is it connected to a hub/switch/router that supports 1G? Start comments to me with @heynnema or I'll miss them.

I have been fighting this for upwards of a year. I have replaced the NIC in the server, the cable, and the router to which the server is connected, and still I get these errors: **Jun 2 05:56:35 [servername] NetworkManager[1163]: <info> [1654167395.5877] connectivity: (enp3s0) timed out** I average about 2 per hour, sometimes more sometimes less. Should I just ignore it? My OCD is screaming about it.....

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
