I've seen similar, years ago. Back then I settled on the Intel Pro/100, and have naturally moved up to the Pro/1000. (tried a failed experiment with gigabit fiber). Recently I've been using the broadcom server ships, and they have been working very well. In general, I've found the 3Com chips sub-par.

I had recently upgraded 8 servers. I bought 3com 3c2000s for the lot of them, they use the marvell yukon chip, and I have that chip on 2 linux servers, and it works REAL well. For some reason, not an issue with the 2 webservers with the new nics, but the 6 witango servers, many issues, like the one below. Also, at night, they would lose connectivity. Reset the port on the switch and they would come back up. I had an issue like this many moons ago on mail server. NIC would lose conn, when a certain user checked a certain email. Support said change the nic to intel or 3com. I went with intel pro 1000, and no more problem. I changed my witango nics to intel pro 1000 GTs, and no more problems. Like there is some incompatibility with something witango does, cuz I have not seen any problems on other machines. Anyway, just mentioning, in case any one runs into this. -- Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ On Oct 28, 2005, at 12:39 PM, Robert Shubert wrote: > I have not seen this, and my efforts on Windows 2003 have worked > well, but I > have found that some ports are used that I wasn't expecting.
