RE: How do you find a resource name for a DEVD?

Hi Bryan

down to the longshots here now...

try using a new t-piece connector on the 3476 if you have one - this might
help if it is some kind of terminator problem. Of course, this could
equally apply to another device on the cable, so you might need to do some
selective turning off and on and uncabling to see if a particular device or
combintaion causes your problem.

try using another point in the repeater in case it is faulty. You could
event try swapping to another one if you have sufficient equipment.

try replacing the cables. This sounds unlikely but is always worthwhile in
circumstances like these (at least when someone asks about cable you can
say your replaced it all). On this note, do you have a mixture of twinax
and ethernet ? I have known this to cause problems.

you may want to consider taking everything off that port/repeater and
adding devices one at a time very carefully after deleting the device
descriptions and see what gets created/where the problem turns off. Get a
few beers and do this on a Satruday :)

Hope this is some help if only to give you more things you can tell the
boss you've tried.

Evan Harris
