Well, urgent issues really need to be taken up with PSS, but is it possible that the NIC card on your server has gone bad and is brewin' up a broadcast storm?
I'd call PSS, and while you're on hold, switch out the NIC card. -- Drew ******************************** Visit http://www.drewncapris.net! Go! Go there now!

The server has been fully working for the last 6 months with no problems at all. Today all of a sudden the server stopped sending and receiving mail, and users complained they could not access the internet or their mail via the exchange server, after deep diags i found that : 1, If i disconnect the Nic cable from the server all clients can re-browse the web and the lan speed is ok. 2, I have also found that if i stop the SMTP service on the server everything becomes ok again, but no mail. Can anyone put any light on this, if so please call or mail me ASAP.
