I'm just thinking along the lines that there may be something wrong with the computer, maybe a corrupted nic driver, or a somehow broken IIS install...I've seen both of those cause many strange problems. The Metabase can get corrupted, but IIS will still function to a point, and corrupted nic drivers can cause all sorts of odd things to happen.
I've installed MX on 3 machines, some old, some new, and had problems, but nothing like what you are seeing, and haven't seen people mentioning this kind of problem, so the problem would seem to be with your setup somewhere.Trying to install on another system would at least give concrete proof that the problem is with the computer if it succeeds. At which point I'd say it's time for a Windows reinstall, or at least download a copy of Metaedit to make sure your IIS metabase isn't corrupt, and reinstall the nic drivers. Forgive me if I'm off base, I've followed the threads but there have been quite a few and I may have missed some relevant point. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, March 10, 2003, 11:30:08 PM, you wrote: MK> Thanks for your suggestion.
