Hi,
Thanks to all the people who responded so quickly.
It was overwhelming.. Many suggested checking the
cabling and hubs. Some people have also mentioned
about patches etc. But ultimately it turned out to
be a combination of problems.
Here is how I went about with the tips from all of
you:
From boot prompt I ran watch-net continuously for
a few minutes and found out that the twisted pair
port stops testing packets after a few minutes but
on AUI it works fine. This confirmed that the TP
interface on our machine has some problem. After
moving over to AUI our system did not hang for
next 4 days. But le0 message still kept on coming
on the screen almost every minute. Though everything
seemed to be working fine. Today I moved this machine
to our etherswitch and to my surprise the message
stopped coming instantly. Does it mean that the
10-base T hub was faulty? But the other systems
connected to it never gave this message. As I had
mentioned earlier I had tried changing the ports.
Can anybody explain why the faulty hub(?) did not
cause any problem to other SS20 machines connected
to it?
Finally thanks to those responded agin..
