Network switch crashes when at least 3 computers connected |
|
|
I have an auto-negotiation 10/100 Mbps switch (Addtron ADS-1008i) and
four computers with 100 Mbps network cards. When I have at least three
computers connected to the network, the switch eventually crashes. It
usually takes between 5 minutes to a few hours. The lights on the
switch showing that computers are connected turn off, and then start
blinking on briefly for a while, and then they turn off entirely. The
switch sometimes starts working again if I unplug some of the network
cables, and it always starts working if I unplug the switch and plug it
back in. It doesn't matter which three computers are connected, or
whether any of them are using the network. I have no internet
connection on the switch - only the four computers. All of the
computers run Slackware Linux. Any ideas on how I can fix this? |

If it has sentimental value call Addtron and see how much they'll charge to
fix it. Otherwise just toss it and get a new one.
