> I've never seen this one before in 6 years working with Citrix products,

>
> Hardware: 2 new Dell 1650 PowerEdge Servers
> Dual 1.2 Ghz processors
> 2 Gig RAM
> Intel Pro NICs (2) teamed copper gigabit
>
> Software: Microsoft NT4 Terminal Server Edition, SP6a
> MetaFrame XP 1.0 Service Pack 1 / FR1
>
> Problem: The system is fine and stable for hours on end, even under a
> moderately heavy load (9 hours, 18+ users concurrent).  Then, all of a
> sudden everything just stops -- server can be pinged, and mouse movements
> allowed on the console, but nothing else.  All sessions refuse to screen
> paint and lock up.  The only way to get the server out of this mode is to
> power it off and power it on.

> Solutions tried:
>
> - Removed all printer port monitors
> - Recreated local host cache
> - Reinstalled MetaFrame XP, FR1, Hotfixes 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, 16.
> - Reinstalled SP6a for TSE
> - Re-created ICA connection in Connection Config Application
> - Set Priority on the teamed NICs
> - Updated drivers for NICs
> - Tried removing NICs from team and running with a single NIC active
(tried
> both NICs)
> - Tried to hard-code NIC speeds and duplexes to avoid autosensing (can't
do
> it -- Intel PRO software doesn't allow hard-coding of gigabit...autosense
> only...allows hardcoding of 10/100 at full/half, just nothing gigabit)
