NW6SP3 Causes IP Protocol to fail

[jgill442]

We recently applied NW6SP3 from SP2 and it seems healthy but at some point during the evening hours, IP simply stops responding. The protocol is still bound to a Compaq gigabit NIC and a "reinitialize system" does not help. Only a restart of the server solves it.

TCPCON shows no packet activity and pings fail.

We reverted to SP2 and it works fine again. The NIC is a Compaq NC71xx and IPX is also bound.

Anyone had a similar experience?

Here's an update to tcpip for nw6, see if it helps
