[comp.sys.concurrent] Ethernet timeout problem

f72_mmp1%red.span@aqua.whoi.edu (02/12/90)

I have a Masscomp5600 with an MN 201 ethernet board installed.
I have an intermittent problem with some component of the ethernet
system whereby the network goes down with a message on the console:
ETHERNET 0 TIMEOUT.

This can happen during heavy use times, and also over the weekend when
there is little or no use.  Does anyone have any prior experience to
know if this is hardware or software related or if it could be a problem
with the network itself.  Since the problem is intermittent, it is
difficult to troubleshoot.  Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.
