Mac Mini Server looses Network Connection every two weeks

Hello everyone

I recently ran into the problem that my Mac Mini Server just drops dead out from the internet.
When I’m at the server everything seems normal expect the network is not working anymore.

Not a single Log file is containing any useful information for me. And as I could not be at the server all the time, in case it crashes again, I just have to send someone to reboot the machine.


There are of course some errors which I am unable to get rid of. Maybe they have something to do with each other?


Please Help me 🙂


Crash about 11:20 today

Reboot about 12:21 today

entries bevore and after crash
