RE: SOS ckrashes the network connection with win2k

Nicolas,
 
Two network cards....that is a problem. We've found over the years that
machines with two network cards causes trouble with the JVM. For some reason
it has trouble binding to the proper network interface and crashes.
 
I every case that I am aware of when one network card was removed the
problem went away.
 
When we release SOS 4.0 this will no longer be a problem as we have moved
away from Java and re-written the server in C#. We have not seen any
problems with multiple network cards since.

Nicolas,



Some models of those two brands have bugs that cause them to fail. (I

believe our tech support has verified this with the manufacturers.) 



I don't know which models off-hand. If you find that you have one of them,

give me the model number and I'll confirm it with our support team. 



I know that some of their routers also have problems. The manufacturer has

released upgrades for their routers that fix most problems, though I've

heard not all of them.



I don't know the details of the actual hardware problems.

hello Heath,

I realy don't know for the moment if it's one of these two brands, I don't

have any physicla access to the sserver, but I'll ask the sysadmin for that.

If it's either a Linksys or Netgear, what's the problem ?

Thanks for all,

Nicolas.

Nicolas,



Any chance that your new server's network card is a Linksys or a Netgear?

Hello folks !

I'm new to this list, so it's possible that my question had already 

been asked...but I didn't find anything in google.



First, let me describe my platform :

Server is a win2K with VSS6.0c SP6, SOS server is 3.5.3 The client is a 

win2k with SOS client 5.3.5



Now the problem :

When I perform a "get latest version" or a "diff" recursively on a big 

project using SOS, it crashes the network interface. The system is 

responding, but no more network access is available. If we try to 

restart the network, it fails. The only way to restart network is to 

reboot the server... hummm.

Note that the VSS database where on another server before (NT4) and 

worked well. We moved the database on a new win2k server and now I crashes.

We also check the database with the analysis software and there was no 

errors.



Any ideas about this ?



Thanks.

Nicolas.
