Hi Mark,
Have you considered the switchs that the ISA firewall and the rest of
the network have in common? I never had problems with switches until I
recently got a Linksys 8 port 10/100 workgroup switch. Get this: I have
ISA firewalls (both 2000 and 2004) that have run for over 6 months, but
I've had to "reboot" this dumb switch about once a week (pull out the
power plug and plug back in). In fact, my DC had been running for almost
a year before our move without a reboot (don't lecture me about patching
:-)
Of course, that's what I get for violating my principle of "The only way
Cisco will ever get any money from me is by prying it from my cold, dead
hands". Cisco bought Linksys, which probably explains the problem.
Sooner or later I'll go to Fry's and get a Dlink.

I am troubled by my internal LAN going down.
It seems that every so often I will return to find the LAN down.
Both my Laptop and Server NICs are running ok (appears to be), but the
communication across the network falls flat on it's face.
I am using the exact same NIC's in my Server as before my AMD
motherboard smoked one of the main power transistors in the power stage.
I have now ( three weeks ago) dug out an old PIII 677 MB and CPU.
I am using Windows 2003 std edition, along with IAS2004 (which now that
I am accustomed to it, I love it).
I have swapped previous known good NICs and had them fail after a period
of time.
So, any ideas ?
I may swap the power supplies as it may have caused the AMD MB to smoke
or it was damaged in the failure.
You may reply offlist if you wish.
Thanks,
Mark S
