Got a Win2K Pro system that is giving us intermittent problems with our EL DSL (PPPoE). In every respect, this system ROCKS and gives us no trouble whatsoever. Its just that every once in awhile – EVEN WHILE (get this) we are streaming music (so weKNOW there is a connection) – we are unable to browse, download/upload mail, ping or anything else!!!!!!! When we go over to any of our other systems (running either W95B (OSR-2) or NT4 (S & WS), there are NO problems. Its just this one W2K system. Now, if we just let it sit awhile, many times we can then browse and check the mail just fine. Or we can always reboot and it works…until the next stoppage.
But this is extremely frustrating, not knowing what is up here with the stoppages.We run ZA (earlier 1.x version) but we have the same problems even when we disable it. Seems there is something not quite right in the TCP stack. Does anyone have any clues on what it is, how to trouble shoot?
Mahalo nui loa for your help!
