proskater123 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have been messing with windows 2000 and have it running on a machine older than most of our moms. P3 500 mhz, 256mb ram. Well maby not old but its outdated. Im using it as a server. perfect right? sadly not. After about 1 -2 hours running from a fresh restart, no traffic will go across the nic card. Any solutions? if you need more info i will be able to provide it. I can't think of anything else to ask or say. BUT THIS I NEED HELP!!

SmoothCriminal Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 You probably just need to replace the NIC, not uncommon for one to go bad. But make sure it has an IP address, and if it starts with 169.254 you are in trouble. Make sure you can ping 127.0.0.1, and check drivers just to make sure.

VaKo Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 is the nic turning off/dropping into power saving mode? what are the leds doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proskater123 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 ok another piece of this puzzle has been added. when i try to intiait ping from cmd it says ping: transmit failed, error code 1450. and this was to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) I was using Xlight ftp server, then when the nic card or what ever gave out xlight started giving .dll errors. Like it said bad image. computer got real slow when those started up then i shut the ftp down and it started getting faster, and things would open properly. eugh.( god / buda / evil server ) doesn't want this to work out. :(( Update: im going to try and run everything but xlight and ill post back when i get back to check on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proskater123 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well i took the ftp server off and its still acting up. error code says there is no more resouses to run the proccess. If i ran hijack this could you guys figure out whats going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Unlikely. I suspect a flawed network card driver that cripples the windows network stack after it fails (hence the loop back adapter no longer works). I would recommend finding a different version of the driver or get a new adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proskater123 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 heh. I'm tired of messing around with this machine so I'm just going to redo my Linux server and move everything over there. its on a 100 x better machine and it has a legit version of an OS. I'm in love with Linux and i want to further my knowledge of it. thanks for the help. you guys are the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
