hey guys, sorry about the server issue, there is really nothing pads can do when I have a problem and i have been working long hours recently so depending on the problem it can sometimes take a bit before i can fix it.
anyway, back to the server problem. I honestly don't know yet why it had the latest problem. I am leaning towards a simple bad cable from the server to the router. At the moment all i have are real long cat 5 cables, and the server only sits a foot from the router
so I know i have an end around here someplace, I'll splice a new cable before i goto bed. If the problem comes back i'll move the server back to the old box and dig around some more
