Every night my machine disconnects from the Control Box

Every night my machine disconnects from the Control Box. Sometimes I need to leave the machine running overnight but when I come in the morning I have a TCP error and the machine needs to be restarted. 

I'm working on a job that will have a run long time at night for the next few months and I need it to continue running all night long. 

What's the issue here?    2021.2 CAD++ , Windows 10

  • How is the machine connected?  If it is via an ethernet cable, double check that the NIC does not allow power saving mode.  If there is a usb adapter involved, check the usb power saving settings too.  The majority of NIC connections look like the image below on the right.  A few look like the left. 



    Have you noticed any pattern for how long it takes?  Always at a specific time?  Always happens 15 minutes after you last use it?  Anything that can help us narrow it down?
