RE: Servers get unresponsive

[Gordon W. Smith]

Stopping/starting the Server Service should force a browser election.  This could be why your problem is resolved this way.  The server will then automatically become the Master Browser.   Question for USO: what clients are you using?  If you are running Win 3.11 or Win 95 clients, you may want to read this article: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q246/4/94.ASP   If you find this to be the problem, there are 2 registry keys listed in the article you can change to prevent your clients from participating in a browser election. -----Original Message----- From: Pajor, Gabor (GEL,NonGE,MSX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 2:11 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Servers get unresponsive Uso,   I know this problem, You can try 2 things (2. second will work :-))   First: go to the server, restart the server service (it will stop other services, but You can restart them later) If this will not solve the problem, only the restart will help You....   We have this problem sometime, there is no valid solution for this (sp or patch). We find this mainly on file and print servers if the print queue number more than 100..., the connected user number higher then 500...   PG  -----Original Message----- From: Uso S. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 8:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Servers get unresponsive Hi all,   I just joined the list. I have a problem regarding NT 4.0 My environment is 10/100 Switched network on CISCO switches. For some reason I keep loosing network connectivity to servers. A PING works fine but not a NET VIEW (System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found.) If you try to use any remote tools like Eventviewer etc. it gives you RPC Server unavailable. This keeps coming and going on all servers, and I can't pin point what might be causing it. We have VLANs configured but it doesn't seem to be related to it. The symptomps are the same and don't depend on which VLAN you are on. The Event logs don't show any errors. Using Host or LMHost files didn't help either.   Any ideas?   regards   Uso     http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
