Sis MB, pIII 833, on board nics, idea, shared memory for = viedo set at 2mb. Nice boxes. Call them mail1, mail2 and mail3... Each = have their own networking issues that I could use a hand with. email1: - Dead It worked fine for a day, now after a reboot i get the following error: sis0: PHY failed to come ready. the whole box hangs and needs the power cut to come back up, at which = point it repeats the same problem. email2: - It works for a while It works for about 30 mins until it seems to 'drop off the internet' By = this i mean... it receives and sends mail at its ip for 30 mins and = then.... It can ping itself but it can't ping its gateway router. and no = other computer can ping it. But it doesn't crash. I have been = rebooting every 1/2 hour, hardly the best solution. (hey im new) And i = would really appreciate any input that would sever this computer = attatchment disorder. email3: - It works! hey buddy, no one is as suprised as me. Like I said, these configurations are just about identical. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks Eddie Anisko The =20
