Help... I have a friend in charge of a fairly large NT4 domain, 7 servers, 60 users. He is really an AS400 guy, so I was working with him on the network and we have a really weird case. Say they're are 3 separate sites. PDC is at Site1, along with Proxy, Mail, etc.. Other two sites have separate servers. All sites communicate via VPN through satellite connection with local ISP. We can ping each radio reciever, get good statics back. Unfortunately each PC has DNS set for ISP, but the site uses WINS, not DNS, so...
Problem: We replace server at Site2 with a brand new one, and everything went to heck in a basket. So, we replaced inactive hub, NIC wires, everything. Network will run fine for 4 or 5 hours, then go slow for a few hours, no ryme or reason as to why. We don't have a fluke meter, but the ISP owner came in with his laptop and watched packets (nothing bad happened at this time, the network behaved).
Has anyone had anything similiar to this happen to them? Replicating problem? Brousing problem? We've turned off all DHCP (the net is static), turned off FTP, HTTP, etc... we do have one AS400, and various dump stations, and that AS400 server is static also.
As always, your advise is wholeheartedly welcomed, and we thank you.
