address conflict with the switch? ..short in the nic? ..could be the cabling..

hi Auger,

Thanks for the reply. It is not the cabling becuase we replaced the machine and it is working fine. The matter is how can we block the port on the switch so the problem will not spread the all ports and eventually stop the cascaded switches. is that possible?

Thanks alot

you need to figure out whats wrong with that nic... configuration wise or hardware... maybe its just a bad nic?

try a pci nic with the same address...
or try a different addy with that same nic..

..are you running dhcp or static?

Actually just had a customer computer in with this same problem. Power supply ground had been damaged and feedback was going out the modem and nic. Made all the routers and hubs light up like chrismas trees.

You need to find out what is wrong with that device nic like auger says.
