I've never been to the place, but a CG I know does work for them and is baffled by these incidents. I told him to remove all unnecessary cabling from the switches and I will come out to test the working cables. In the meantime, I'm looking for any insight or anyone who has experienced this issue.

Also, its not unreasonable to assume a bad nic card causing these problems, which will be a royal pain to determine; especially if you have a ton of nodes connected to the switch. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 3,630 Moderator-Avaya, Nortel | | Moderator-Avaya, Nortel Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 3,630 | Does it kill all the ports on the switch? a bad NIC might be it. It could be bad power too. Do they have a UPS on the switch? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 575 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 575 |
