This is why I don't like MS.....

Running Win2k Server

We had that problem with the server not responding after a period of no traffic. The server itself wasn't asleep it seemed that i just refused to take network traffic.....

I was trying to figure out why it was doing this so I went into Device Mananger and opened the propteries of the NIC. I saw something funny, a tab that said "Power Management". Click on it an LOOK....

A freaking checkbox labeled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

Unchecked it and now everything is great! Well as good as it can be....

Is there a reason that MS feels that this is an "Option"? Does the power that that card uses really make THAT big a difference?

What a bunch on monkeys. I'd like to meet the retard engineer that thought up that idea....then point out that 99% of W2k server installs are for web or file servers that NEED TO HAVE NETWORK CONNECTIVITY!
