Hello Net-helpers,
Please forward this to telecom....
Steve Ellis , 3-3132, has a Sun Classic on a dual xcever
on drop #37-387-1. The sun gets intermittent "no carrier -
Cable disconnected" errors in the console window. When this
happends, remote users get booted from the machine.
I have swapped the entire cpu and UTP cable. I also had the
UTP cable directly into the cpu.
I suspect a bad network drop. These problems started when
the Sun was swapped in for a DecStation. I belive the Suns are
more sensitive to cable length and disturbances on the network line.
Please fix and keep Hotline informed...
Thanks,
John
