I have a client who has recently had a Lucent Pipeline 75 router installed
on an ISDN line and a new 3Com 10/100 hub installed. There have been a
number of issues since the installation of these with respect to the network
locking up. The internet became completely inaccessible and the database
program on the server would take 10 minutes to open from a workstation but
then work completely fine once it was running. In order to restore proper
service the hub and/or router would need to be unplugged and plugged back in
to reset itself. When things have slowed I am still able to ping the server
and/or router and get a reply as normal. The company that did the
installation is claiming there are power spikes that are causing this and I
am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem of if their could be
another cause for this. Thank you.
