Server Hosting: Internet link drops to PC; PC doesn't shut down correctly.
Server Hosting: Internet link drops to PC; PC doesn't shut down correctly.
I recently discovered how to redirect traffic and began setting up a Minecraft server for my friends. We initially had a smooth experience with just one player, but as the group grew to five, I encountered problems with my server and internet stability. My connection remained strong for other devices, yet my PC frequently lost internet even when only three people were online. My PC stays connected via Ethernet, and I've adjusted firewall settings and permissions without resolving the problem. Despite having ample RAM—32Gb on my machine with 16GB allocated to the server—I still face interruptions. The only workaround is shutting down and rebooting my PC to restore connectivity. This situation is directly tied to the server setup, as I noticed it only arose when hosting began. I've searched for similar issues but found nothing relevant. P.S. For about a minute after the connection drops, I can still pick up audio from Discord, but my voice goes silent.
Is your server running on a dedicated machine or is it hosted locally on your own computer?
