It is important to note that cheap nic cards that were really designed for 1% utilization on a workstation are not well suited for an Asterisk server installation with any kind of VOIP traffic. We foolishly put a Realtek card in a test server and after a month literally fried the NIC card, It was extremely hot when we took it out after seeing thousands of network errors. I would recommend a 3com 905CX NIC card, we have these in all of our Asterisk servers and they function beautifully, and I have yet to hear of one breaking down uder high traffic. Yes, they cost a lot more than your average $4 Realtek card, you can pick them up new for about $20-$30.

Last night I swapped-out the Netgear NIC card, and things appear to have settled down (no more event 2 messages). I really appreciate all the help I received from the list members and Mark. I'll update tracking bug 963 when I'm satisfied the problem is fixed. Thanks, Michael Welter Michael Welter wrote: > I have a Gigabyte K7 motherboard with an Athlon 2400+ processor.
