rfhayes 0 Posted January 22, 2001 Hello everyone Ok...This is what we have Novell Network server Windows NT Domain server Windows 2000 Citrix servers (4) Packeteer shaper for traffic control of TCP/IP Cisco Catalyst Compaq 733 with a 3com NIC installed (905b) When Whistler is started, it takes a while to apply settings, then the NIC shuts off, turns on...then the NETWORK FLOODS, and all activity for ANY other user stops totally (Lotus Notes server...down, Novell connection...down...NT and Citrix....down) Changed NIC to Intel 10/100, SAME thing What is Whistler Broadcasting? Looking for a DHCP server...the anti-piracy feature kicking in? This is REAL BAD...any one have any idea's? (PS whats funny is it does not do this on a simple home LAN). This also happened with Ghost 6.5 flooding our network as well (used Multicast feature..and it buckled our whole network when ghosting) Share this post Link to post
EddiE314 0 Posted January 23, 2001 could be the anti piracy thingy trying to find an ms server, i dunno though. Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted January 23, 2001 can't be the anti-piracy thing...if you did your homework and installed it so that you wouldn't fall into that problem. This is something that is new to me. Perhaps I submit this bug, since I'm a tester anyhow. Share this post Link to post
rfhayes 0 Posted January 23, 2001 Ok..... Are their any educated posters who may wish to take a stab at my post? No Eddie314 or jdulmage posts please? More info. Installed Client for Netware from the Whistler install (not Novell's client), believe this may be the issue...but why the crippling broadcast? The packeteer goes full boat and hits 1.5mb outgoing...now where could it be going? Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted January 24, 2001 Everyone - PLEASE do not turn this thread into another flame war! In their defense, there was nothing wrong with eddie's or jd's post. just because they didn't have the answer you were looking for doesn't make them "uneducated".... anyway, if you want to know where the traffic is heading, try running a packet sniffer on the network and see what happens...

rfhayes 0 Posted January 24, 2001 Well As I need information, and I have seen the posts from these users in the past, and just browsing this board in the last week, it is hard not to ask for them not to make any comments unless they have a good idea or wish to discuss this matter in a professional manner. Otherwise I apologize...lets keep this discussion on the topic at hand. Regarding the packet sniffer..that is what the packeteer is, and this broadcast totally eats our bandwidth, so that by the time we bring down the whistler box, and can review what may have caused the issue, the data is erroneous. It points at different objects (it even pointed at an HP plotter and it's jet direct box once...what is up with that?) Any other idea's folks? Thanks Share this post Link to post
Lord-Data 0 Posted February 22, 2001 I had this, or something like it in buld 2428. Just fixed it this morning. It was broadcasting like crazy, only 2 or 3k/sec tho. not enough to bring down the network in anyway,but annoying, coz it messed up my graphs. Anyway, i finally discovered what it was, its the "Universal plug and Play" support.. there is 2 services running by default to support plug and play network devices, whcih iv never even heard of anyway. It seems to be scanning for devices. Stop the 2 services, and it stops broadcasting. Share this post Link to post
