From: bugtraq at gs2.com.br (Fabio Gomes de Souza) Subject: Strange behavior in Windows 98 and 2000 Not likely. This is happening with many boxes in different buildings. Also, a friend of mine who has a WISP, called me today about the same problem that is happening with his customers. He told that Windows 2000 and XP boxes lose TCP/IP communication and, after a reboot, they work again. I am SOOO scared. :D Fabio David Vincent escreveu: > I've got a w2k box like that. > > no matter what I do it will freeze when it gets about 1/3 of the way through > the ie 6 download. doesn't matter the day, time, power outlet, network > card, power supply, ram, cat-5 cable, network drop, phase of the moon, or > where any of the planets or tides are. > > at least part of the problem was the power conditioner it was on before. we > replaced that workstation with another and it had the same problems of flaky > conenctivity and random BSODs. only after the power conditioner died and > was replaced did we figure out what the problem was. > > I can download huge files with the original box, but can't get past 1/3 of > the way through the ie 6 download before it chokes. reboots do nothing. > > so, I guess what I'm saying is check the power somehow. might be getting > dirty power. > > -d > > > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Fabio Gomes de Souza [mailto:bugtraq@....com.br] >>Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 6:13 PM >>To: full-disclosure@...ts.netsys.com >>Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Strange behavior in Windows 98 and 2000 >> >> >> >>Hi, >> >>Some of the Windows 98 and 2000 boxes of my customers are suddenly >>losing their TCP/IP functionality.
