        Hello All , on a compaq proliant 6000, 4 ppro 200Mhz 512k cpu's,
        4.3Gb seagate system drive attached to onboard 53c875 ctrlr,
        Smart Array 2/P, 392Mb, 4 18.Gb seagate st118273 raid 5,
        Digital DE500(tulip), 3.5 Floppy, ide cdrom .

        since I have upgraded from 2 cpu's to 4 cpu's I get system hangs
        when trying to anything on the network , a ping , even of its
        local ip . I can (sometimes) get it to just start reboot with
        crtl-alt-del & then it'll just squeal . Other times it is hard
        hard locked not even responding to c/r at the login prompt .
        Although it does sometimes respond to pings (sort of) from off
        system . ie:
120 packets transmitted, 86 packets received, 28% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.5/12.1/1000.6 ms

        I have played with swapping in and out differant cpu's to see if
        one of them is the culprit , no luck . I even tried a differant
        ether card , having heard of troubles with some of the cards .
        Anyone have any thoughts ? Tia , JimL
