beeping

What server do you have?
Try:
a) Have a look at your hardware manual. The beeps may indicate a problem with the motherboard.
b) Check your NIC by Pinging 127.0.0.1 and/or using the 3Com diagnostic utility. Eventually replace the NIC and check connectivity.

But the whole ting looks like a server's hardware problem.

#1 Look at your event logs...(what was happening at the time of the problem) #2 Check your network devices logs (if you have them)
Is the 3Com card ethernet? (It sounds, from your description like a token-ring beaconing condition if they all beeped)...
Run the 3com Diags to see if there is a problem on your servers NIC. If the light was flashing rapidly- it doesn't necessarily mean it was the NIC on the server: Just that it was seeing traffic (and/or collisions if ethernet).

My NT server 4.0 had a similar beep like yours. But mine end up to be my video AGP card going bad. I replace it and took care of my problem. But I never had lost connection among my pc's, may be you had other problem. Good luck.

I would check the last hardware or software change made to the system and focas on that. Sometimes software is installed that has a W** extension and that is read as a wave file causing strange sounds to eminate from your computer.

I would like to know what solution you found to your problem. Thanks.
