- PROBLEM : 386 problems does anybody know the following? In
- Monitor under Lan information TOKEN RING for token.lan - what is a ring
- status of 30 and ring status of 8220. My customer also had his lost frames
- take off. They climbed to 500 when He had the 30 and then they stopped. A
- couple of hours later with the 8220 his lost frames took off to 7000. His
- performance dropped. He tried desparatly to clear connections to no
- avail... THe server finally got a GPI. I know he's got some kind of
- communications problem but am not sure where to take him from here.
-
- ANSWER : Most of those problems tracked in Monitor are directly
- tracked off the hardware card. Most likely it is a communication problem
- with the network hardware.
-
- It turns out that the problem was caused by an intermitent short in one of the
- cables from one of the workstation. The customer replaced the cable and for
- good measure put a new card in the w/s.
