SUBJECT : Errors With Token Ring and 386

SHELL VERSION :
PROBLEM : 386 problems does anybody know the following? In
Monitor under Lan information TOKEN RING for token.lan - what is a ring
status of 30 and ring status of 8220. My customer also had his lost frames
take off. They climbed to 500 when He had the 30 and then they stopped. A
couple of hours later with the 8220 his lost frames took off to 7000. His
performance dropped. He tried desparatly to clear connections to no
avail... THe server finally got a GPI. I know he's got some kind of
communications problem but am not sure where to take him from here.
ANSWER : Most of those problems tracked in Monitor are directly
tracked off the hardware card. Most likely it is a communication problem
with the network hardware.
It turns out that the problem was caused by an intermitent short in one of the
cables from one of the workstation. The customer replaced the cable and for
good measure put a new card in the w/s.
