I am afraid that unless Novell knows of a problem (un like brand X
Novell will tell you) you got a problem. I know you did all the re do
service pack to overwrite the nlms . when you say freze even the
screen saver on console. Over the last 30 years when iI have a problem
like this ,it usaly is not the OS.OSs will abend, crash, or do other
strange things. I would look at hardware memory,cpu motherboard or
power supply. A loss of 5 volts for a few nano sec will do it . Swap
the  dims around . latch probe on 5 volt line will catch it. flakey
conection . over heated cpu . I 'de realy look at hardware if the
screensaver stoped too. If it's still runing (screen saver) than it's
not dead.   PS I like to segment a network by using multible nics
better than a switch and we dont need peer to peer browsing all over
and it's a lot cheaper.
