OK, so I am using my Raspberry Pi as an HTPC with OpenELEC (XBMC). It's wired to the same switch as my Server, Desktop and my DirecTV devices.
I was messing around with overclocking the Pi this weekend and sometime during the last couple of days I also noticed that when I have the RaspPi plugged in to the switch, all of the networked computers listed under the <Computer> field in Windows Explorer dissappear for any computer that is rebooted while the Pi is connected.
Here's the kicker, all the devices are still on the network and all services are running fine between them. You'll see them under the Services field and their folders are still accessible by typing the location (i.e. ///Homerver/) in the address bar or by using previoulsy created shortcuts. So, the network itself is completely unaffected except for the ability to access shares by clicking on the networked computer icons in Exporer.
If I unplug the RaspPi's ethernet cable and reset the switch, all of the networked PCs will pop back up in Explorer until I plug the Pi back into the switch and reboot the PC. It affects any Windows 7 connected PC:
Laptop - Windows 7 Home Premium
Desktop - Windows 7 Pro
Server - WHS 2011
My problem is that I don't remember if the issue popped up first or if I overclocked it first. Either way, how could overclocking the Pi cause this network issue to happen? Is it possible to corrupt the Pi's OS via overclock in a way that doesn't affect its operation at all but affects the way the network functions?
