Good Wires Gone Bad

I had to replace the Ethernet cable on the database server today.  Whenever I used Remote Desktop to connect to the machine, I was getting a lot of vertical lines and garbage pixels.  As it turns out, the signal was getting really crappy.  The new cable should actually help the performance of the game server considerably, since the communication to and from the SQL server won’t suffer from so much network packet loss.
