In addition to removing unneeded protocols, look at the statistics on the card. Does it have tons of errors, dropped packets, etc? Might be the card is halfway dead, which is not at all like all the way dead.

I have come across a new and rather perplexing problem. IT seems that, randomly, some of my users are hanging when they try and start their Microsoft office applications. (word, excel, outlook...)The problem is that it has something to do with the network. When The app is hanging, (not responding) I look at the performance of the possessor, and its not getting hit. So this led me to believe it was a network issue. Sure enough, when I disconnected them from their network connection, the apps started to work. Its not like I'm opening a file off of a network drive, or that I'm running the app off of a network drive, I'm Just opening the application from its default shortcut. I cant figure what this has to do with the network, and why the network would cause this completely local software installation to hang. Its not a broadcast storm because its random single people through out my office. I made sure there was an updated virus definition and scanned their computers but the scan came up clean. any Ideas? The machines are all dell optiplexes running Win 2000 SP2, Office 2000 sr2. I feel stupid but I just don't have any idea where to start tracking this problem down. ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
