Ok, I'm back on... lasted till just now (6:10 AESST)

SpiritWarrior · 12-31-2003, 03:31 AM

So it is defo. a forum prob then.

FYI today was the worst day for it I have seen yet, 6 times it timed out on me sparodically starting in the evening tuesday of december 30 (around 5 pm) into early wednesday morning (right now 2.26 am).

AH! I think I just found out the problem.

See, for a while now, whenever I move the Network cable for the server, the router lights for the server go out, I wiggled the cord, then it would come on. I THOUGHT it was a wire problem, but I just replaced the cord, and it did the same thing. IT'S THE NETWORK CARD! If I put the network cable in the nic card slot, and it doesn't come on, on the router, I wiggle it IN the slot, and it comes on. [img]smile.gif[/img] SO... it's a network card problem, and I bet this is what is happening, and it's 'shorting' the connection.

Lucky me, I have another nic card, so I'll drop it in the server tomorrow, and see if this gets rid of all these downtimes.

And remember, someone said this started right after the server got hit by a huge lightning surge. So it may have slightly screwed up the card.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cross your fingers folks! I hope this is the cause.

Lennon, did your computer just die? And if so, am I going to get the blame?

On topic, just got the usual IW cutoff.

ISP is freeserve.

I seem to remember getting similar traces - ending up in a 10.x.x.x address - well before that lightning strike.
