| 192225 | 2003-11-15 19:57:00 | Heres a new one . . . So I plug my PC into my work LAN connection Change my IP/Gate/DNS options and what happens The my whole work goes off line (nearly 200 PCs) Me thinking that Telsta Fiber was down (haven’t been too reliable lately) I called them up trying to figure out what is wrong with the connection 1 hr on the phone to TelstraClear we exhausting all possibilities and I give up and tuned my PC off BANG . . every one gets internet back Turns out that I was bombarding the Fiber Router with bad packets or I was constantly pinging it (like a Ping hak) Now whenever I turn my PC on it bombard ONLY the assigned Gateway in my TCP/IP settings Has this ever happened to anyone? It’s a fresh install of 2k pro (no SP) 2 possibilities: 1 Bad network card (it’s a mini PC . snotmonkey . com/content/stuff/ezGo/" target="_blank">www . snotmonkey . com ) 2 Window fault **shock horror another one?** I noticed that when I am doing nothing my connection wizard shows I am sending about 50 packets a second (probable only to the assigned gateway) |

| 192228 | 2003-11-15 21:08:00 | Well, I don't know about you or anyone else, but I really would like to see what happens when your gateway is 127.0.0.1 ]:) | agent (30) | ||

| 192230 | 2003-11-16 01:33:00 | Is it trying to access a DHCP server in the outside world? Put it on a network of itself and one other, and run Ethereal or tcpdump, or some other packet capture programme to see what it is sending . You've got something misconfigured; not even MS network software would be that bad . :D |
