Try forcing the NIC and the switch port to the same settings (ie: 100-FD), I've seen that cause network hiccups if they aren't talking the same. -----Original Message----- From: Stelley, Doug [mailto:dstelley@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 9:38 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Lost Connection http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have about 100 more free licenses available. I do delete the account in AD. as far as the data ports, do you mean on the switch itself? If so, no, but rebuilding the PC is done on that port, and the problem goes away. Right now I'm rebuilding one, testing the connection after each piece of software is added. I'm hoping the problem is with a specific piece of software, but so far we've not been able to recreate the problem in the test set. -----Original Message----- From: Chris McNally [mailto:cmcnally@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 12:29 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Lost Connection http://www.MSExchange.org/ I was thinking it might be a license issue but that would show up in event logs. When you rebuild the PC do you bring it back to the same data port and it's then ok? With a problem PC have you tried on a different data port? Looking for infrastructure causes. When you rename the PC do you delete the machine account in AD? _______________________ Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this message may be legally privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.
