Hi Folks,



Have a strange on here. Have an HP Evo desktop running Windows XP and it
decided to stop connecting to the internet, the iSeries, etc. I first
suspected a NIC, cable or switch port problem but those all checked out OK.
I can ping the iSeries but when I try to telnet it quickly gets an error
about "could not open connection on port 23". A browser gets an error page
and out Synapse emulation gets at error also. Firewall is off.

The NIC card shows connected and working fine.



So I pulled the drive out and stuck it in a same model Evo that was
connecting fine and guess what ? Now it is getting the same errors. I
removed the NIC from configuration and rebooted and it added it back in.
I've tried disabling it and re-enabling it - nothing works.



Any idea what could be going on ? It's got to be something in the
configuration since moving the drive moved the error.



Thanks !



Chuck
