Hi,
In our house we have a small networking running, I'm having trouble with the computer that provides internet access to the rest of the house, once or twice a day it hangs completely. This always happens while the monitor is in powersaving mode so I'm having real difficulty digonosing the problem. When the system hangs nothing makes the monitor come back on, network connections to the machine go dead but the hard disk sometimes seems to be accessing.
Event viewer is showing an error about once an hour saying
hardware
Thunderbird Athlon 1.2ghz (133fsb)
512mb generic pc133 sd ram
Gigabyte Via Chipset Mobo (don't have model number to hand)
Geforce 2 pro 64mb graphics
Kingston 10/100 NIC
ActionTec PCI Wireless Nic
40GB Ata100 HD
Generic DVD-ROM
LG 48x16x48 CD-RW
Adaptec SCSI Card (for Epson scanner)
Alcatel USB ADSL modem
(that's from memory but i think I've got everything)
software
Win2k Pro SP4 with all windows updates
Wingate 5 (providing internet connection sharing and bridging the wired and wireless networks)
Norton AV 2003
I've tried running Spybot but it only came up with a few tracking cookies, nothing significant. NAV does weekly updates and full system scans as well as real time monitoring and hasn't reported anything.
The crashing generally seems to happen in the middle of the night when there may be a significant amount of network traffic from some of the clients (p2p stuff etc) but no apps running on the server pc.
Can anyone suggest what I can explore next?
