      If it was any other user I'd believe it was the user, but my boss is not the screw around type. She does her work and moves on. I really wish I could blame it on her... but don't believe it to be the case.

        Since you've tried replacing everything else, I think it is time you got a new boss 🙂

              Is your cable STP or UTP? Do you have any radio towers nearby?

                I'm on my phone so I can't look at the difference between STP and UTp so I can't answer your question. But no there are no radio towers extremely close and nobody else in the office is having any problems

                  He's being silly. STP is shielded twisted pair and UTP is unshielded twisted pair. CAT5, CAT6, etc. are examples of UTP.

                    in that case, it could be a funky ground. I tossed the STP idea out there because I've seen STP grounded on both ends act as an unintended grounding conductor. I can't say that I've seen similar behavior with STP.

                    It's also possible, though very remote and bizarre, that the user has some odd effect on electronics. My mother, for example, kills digital watches in less than a month and can only use analog.

                        I had a client like that too. No matter what PC she used the gremlins and weird stuff happened. A partial fix was the direct ethernet cable I ran from the switch up the wall and to her office, bypassing the jack. This slowed down the issues for her. It was "fixed" when the business moved to a new location. How's that for weird?

                          It's helps my mental state to know that there are other simply unexplainable problems that people have run into.
