Hey there... I was hoping someone out here can help us out...  We're
running a Netware 4.11
server on a dual PII-350mhz machine, 384mb SDRAM, Adaptec RAID w/ 3
4.5gb Cheetah's,
and 1 10mbs Acer & 3 100mbs 3Com NIC's...  This server's soul purpose is
to serve files to
a maximum of 200 diskless workstations running Win95 (remoteboot).  It's
been running since
Sept. 1998 with a few problems but overall it's been good.

Here's the problem.  On occasion the server will freeze (total freezeup,
must be turned off then
on again), for no apparent reason.  The logs don't show any tampering,
the server is locked up
in the server room, and there is no major load whatsoever on it within
30 minutes prior to the
lockup...  We've had anything from 150 people working with heavy apps to
5 people poking around
on the internet and it's frozen.  We're basically totally out of ideas.

Oh, and just to note the equipment is brand new and has been tested at
100% ok (but maybe Netware
doesn't like it?).

If anyone can lend us a hand in figuring this out we would be immensly
appreciative.  If you'd like any
more details please mail me and I'll get them to you as soon as
possible.

Thanks in advance...

Mike
