Mike-
That's a good suggestion, and it is not
obvious. I just learned about it two weeks ago from a software supplier at one
of my clients. We set it to unchecked and it solved a variety of
problems.
It appears that the algorithm that
controls the NIC power has more to do with activity on the desktop
than with server activity.

Imail server goes down once a day
Geza,
Maybe this is too obvious, but I have never seen anyone
mention it. In network connections, for each adapter, click properties.
On the General tab, click the Configure button for the adapter. Click the
Power Management tab. Ensure that "Allow the computer to turn off this device
to save power" is not checked.

A strange thing is happening with our email server
for months now and I am getting fed up with it, so I decided to get to the
bottom of it.
The Imail server v8.22 (W2k server with SP4) looses its
networking in average once a day or every other day. What I mean on loosing
is that for example when I get a time out error on the email client, I do
the following on the Imail server locally:
At a command prompt I type
ipconfig/all, = all settings are OK.
I pinged 127.0.0.1, replies OK
I
pinged the IP of the default gateway, it's timing out and if you ping any
other IP, the result is the same.
I looked at the event logs, no error in
it that would give me a clue.
If I reboot the server, everything is fine
for another 24 hours.
Our Imail server receives mail through Postini,
and the firewall has been set up to allow smtp 25 traffic only from Postini
servers. based on the log file, our email server receves 1500 messages a day
average.
So, what troubleshooting steps do you guys recommend for
this particular problem?
Until I find out what is the problem, what
services related to tcp/ip networking I could restart on the server that
would substitute rebooting the server?
