George,

Been there. In Brookfield (CT), under certain circumstances, when someone would use the copier (not on the same circuit), the Novell server would go down.

Here, we have all new wiring directly from the fuse box with really good UPS's in between.

Thanks,

Carl

a) a visual inspection of the systems, to see if there are any pinsize

c) moving the systems to the basement ?

There's a story in a book I once read where a computer system crashed every morning around the same time. No one could figure it out. Finally, the head of IS goes down to the computer room at the expected time. In walks a maintenance man who comes in, opens the cabinet for the computer, and plugs a floor polisher into a spare outlet in the cabinet. When the maintenance man activates the polisher, boom, the system crashed.

When asked by his boss what the problem was, he told him it was a buffer problem.

I used to have a Novell server that would mysteriously reboot every few days. In my case, the server was on the same circuit as a laser printer, and both were plugged into a Haworth cubicle outlet. Periodically, load was too much and it would causes a server reboot. We brought in another circuit NOT on the inadequate cubicle wiring system, and the problem went away.
