Hi.
A little more info, please.
1. Specs of the server
2. Version of NetWare. Since this is the NW6 forum, I'll assume that you're running NW6
3. Tell me what messages are the last to appear on the console screen. If you don't know how to get to the console screen, use ALT-ESC to toggle between screens. The console screen is the one that has a command prompt similiar to Servername:
4. Do you see a number in parenthesis on the console screen ie Servername(1):
5. Just verify that the keyboard & mouse are plugged into the right ports on your server
6. Are you using a KVM switch? Sometimes you need to wait for like 5 seconds after switching before you move the mouse


Please answer/verify these & post back here

Sorry to keep asking questions, but I was hoping that the problem would be found with my last post.

Is it just the GUI interface that freezes, or does the console freeze up as well?

Is there any particular activity that seems to cause this problem to start?

Hhhmmm Maybe a hardware problem or driver problem then.
Is the new hardware similiar to the old?
