Hi there, my boss has recently bought a 3com 3300 switch (used, from an auction) which I'm testing before I consider using it on our network.

I managed to get into it after buying the right type of serial cable and configure it with a suitable ip address.

Every now and then, varying from a few minutes to several hours, it totally locks up and stops responding to pings.

Either all the lights go out when it locks up or all of the 24 port lights go out and all of the "unit" lights on the right-hand side of the panel are lit up.

Obviously it's too unstable to use at the moment, anyone seen this problem and have a possible solution?

Let me know if you need any more info.

Cheers,

Andy
