I would change out the cat 5 cable and also move the cable to a different port/card on the switch. If you are still experiencing problems then I would replace the NIC on the server. Just my 2 cents.
-----Original Message----- From: Evans, TJ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 11:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ethernet errors explained [7:33687] You can also get these nice kind of hard-to-troubleshoot issues if your cables are not wired properly; i.e. 'crossed or mismatched pairs' on some cable-testers. Specifically - if the pinout is such that the wrong wires are being twisted around each other ... would normally work just fine for really short runs, but get into 20' or longer and you get the problems listed below. Also - just for the record - we had absolute fits with our RS6k's as well until hard-coding each side at the same speed and duplex; 100/FULL. In our case . Thanks! TJ >""Steven A.
