- Hej,
-
- I've got a 4D/20 that I moved from one room to another, and after said
- move the system won't come up on the net. Worked fine before the move.
-
- A console message keeps repeating ad infinum:
-
- ec0: dying and restarting
-
- The transceiver (ST-500) collision light is constantly lit, whether
- connected to the ethernet or not.
-
- The problem is not the transceiver or xceiver cable; I've swapped both
- out. Same symptoms.
-
- Does this sound like an ethernet hardware problem, or is there something
- easy I could try before I call in the (expensive) repair guys.
-
- Email is best.
-
- Thanks,
-
- bb
