Dec 17, 2015 6:59 AM in response to ddj82by rkaufmann87,★HelpfulCheck System Preferences - Energy Saver - check wake for network access. If that is not it reset the router and modem (yes even if other devices work okay) and then retest.

Dec 17, 2015 6:59 AM in response to rkaufmann87by ddj82,OK. Yeah that was unchecked. Does it matter if I have my computer set to never go to sleep?
Thanks.

Dec 17, 2015 7:12 AM in response to rkaufmann87by ddj82,I'm confused why it would be the internet though? That always works fine, it's the server where all our files are kept that drops.
Anyway, thanks for your help, I'll see if that works tomorrow.

Did you reset the modem and router as instructed. Even if other devices are not affected, this is a smart thing to do. Also ensure both have up-to-date firmware, you will need to check with the manufacturer about how to do that. -
Dec 21, 2015 10:12 AM in response to rkaufmann87by ddj82,Forgive my ignorance, but do the internet modem and router have anything to do with our server network? I suppose they run on the same line.
I'm not sure if I can get them to do this as we are an office with 100 or so computers and people using them.

However, depending on who your ISP is the modem and router may be two boxes or one box. For example, Comcast is my ISP and I have an integrated modem/router (one box). Your ISP may provide similar or different equipment.

Dec 21, 2015 11:40 AM in response to rkaufmann87by ddj82,I guess to me it's two separate things - the internet and then the server I connect to for files at work. I have no problems with the internet. The server is what is dropping for me only on El Capitan. No problems for co-workers on the same Mac but with Yosemite.

Aug 31, 2016 7:04 AM in response to ddj82by bpdesignguy,I have this problem too. Really annoying and I can't figure out why.
I think I will ditch El Capitan and go back to my old OS. Way too many problems with El Capitan.
