Slightly OT: 2924XL and Blue Screen of Death [7:32536]

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

There was that bug with Windows XP machines and MAC-layer port security. Sorry I can't remember the details I think it might have been with higher-end switches, though. Please let us know what you find out. Sorry I don't have more info. I'm in a rush. It IS Friday, afterall. ;-) Priscilla

Have you enabled portfast? sometimes things like this can happen because the client is having difficulties seeing traffic to bind to. It takes forever on a cisco cwitch to get a good link if portfast is not enabled. -Patrick >>> "Chuck Larrieu" 01/18/02 05:50PM >>> have you tried this particu

I have seen this happen when you have a speed and duplex mismatch. (actually 10baseT hooking into a 100baseT hub with no dual speed mechanism, old school stuff). Then when you go into network neighborhood, BOOM. Check that first. This might be the case if the NICs are only 10baseT hooking

I wondered about type-20 propagation also, but that's only to get NetBIOS through an IPX network. It's so that Windoze networking will work over an IPX internetwork. I don't think that's relevant. You said that the routers aren't using internal network numbers, but I'm more concerned about the
