The university with which I am affiliated recently acquired a large quantity of AT&T 3B1 computers and software. Unfortunately, we are having problems with the machine's network interface. The machines we attempt to hook up to the campus network will respond in a variety of ways: some hang, some panic, some crash; all appear to be permanently affected (damaged) after that point. We don't know if it's a hardware or software (WIN TCP/IP) problem. We've tried swapping network boards and expansion cards with no success, and we've tried re-installing the software. I would appreciate ANY responses to this problem. If there is further information that you require to help diagnose this problem, please let me know. I'm afraid I'm not all that close with the problem, so there's probably some vital information I've left out. Please address all correspondence to one of the UNIVERSITY addresses below. I will post progress reports and summary information as it becomes available. Thanks very much for your assistance. -------------- Jeff E.
