1 Hi all,
2
3 I have an issue with a remote server that keeps losing access to the
4 network. I've managed to replicate the issue by pulling a large file from
5 the server at full speed (100mbit). It will cut out during the file copy
6 and the log will show the following:

57 As it is remote I have to hard reboot it at this point to get anything more
58 out of it, something that I'm not too keen on doing too often.
59
60 From that I can work out there seems to be an issue with the sis900 card
61 but where to go from here I'm not sure on.
62
63 Any help would be greatly appreciated
64
65 Thanks
