Other thoughts: 1. It is a known fact that upgrades don't always perform well in Squeeze system have anyone experiencing mystery problems tried a clean install removing everything SC or at least deleting the cache files ? 2. Have anyone tried with an alternative OS install on the same hardware ? Here is what i'm experienced years ago, my upgrade from 6.3 to 6.5 was not good it stopped randomly so i tried 7.0 no joy could stop at random occasions 1-2 times a week. Did the network test 1500kbps ? Installed ubuntu on another partition on the machine, network test 3000kbps ! wtf ? this indicated to me that it was no router or network card problem. My XP partition was a pre installed one delivered with my PC i have no "real" OS cd/dvd to do installs with, only a restore partition with pre configured stuff. For example it came pre infected with Norton and i had never versions of Norton installed afterwards, i removed that and used ezet for while, but i distrused Nortons removal tool etc. There is something slightly fishy with my old XP install, as it was an oem installed pc it does not come with the tools do something creative about it. It runs 6.3 just fine but no other versions. I have a suspicion that MySQL was introduced after 6.3 or do I remember it wrong . To rule out the OS do a multiboot install, the alternative OS don't need to be a linux if thats uncomfortable to you, i think it's enough to try a fresh install of something. Start without firewalls or AV applications introduce you AV/FW of choice later and see whats happening. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- No it can NOT be controlled with iTunes.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65719 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
