We have several of these machines in our network. The only ones having a problem are connected to 2924XLs. There was one here in our department that was connected to a hub that was attached to a 1900 with STP turned off. It had absolutely no issues whatsoever...until we moved it to another drop that was connected to a 2924XL. Pretty weird!
Our LAN people are still working on different permutations. They found an advisory from Novell about something similar. It could be some strange interaction between STP BPDUs, the NIC drivers, and a particular file on the Netware client. >>> "Chuck Larrieu" 1/18/02 3:50:03 PM >>> have you tried this particular machine in the other switches? sometimes a bad windows installation on a pc will blue screen no matter what.
