    It sounds like a hardware problem to me (NIC itself, NIC drivers, ethernet cable, etc).  Has it always been like that (or did this just start recently)?  Does it act that way from other clients as well?

    well i installed home server about a week ago. i installed the console on the win 7 desktop yesterday. it worked for several hours no problem, then all of a sudden when i tried to connect with the console, it was a solid grey box after i logged in with the password. I was able to connect via rdp no problem i ended up uninstalling the console from the computer and reinstalling it. it worked fine until today it did it again. i tried connecting several times but no luck. it has been intermittent and now when i go to open the console on a desktop it freezes. nothing happens and then it greys out.  and if i open the console on the server it opens, freezes and within 30 seconds it closes. any ideas?
