November 2, 201114 yr OK - as a noobie poster I hope I do this right Version 4.7 running on a HP N36l microserver ethernetted via a TPlink gigabit ethernet switch to Macmini running Lion 10.7.2 Ive had a few hiccups along the way with this set up, but now that I have Unmenu visible via Firefox I'm happier. Situation is this; I try and copy a few large media files (over 4gb) to a share and the server drops out after a few seconds. Nothing works - its not visible via Telnet or browser and the smb link disappears in the osx finder. All I can do is hold down the power on the Microserver and do a hard reset to get up and running. I've had more success NOT copying using the share link in the finder ie, copying to Disk 1 in the finder. This way I can copy up to 16G at a time without this problem happening. But then seemingly randomly, it happens again. Syslog is attached to any help would be awesome! syslog.txt
November 2, 201114 yr Nothing definitive here, but a couple things - noticed some parity errors. Once the box is up and running - run a full parity check on it. Also noticed, it is running DHCP and getting IP from the Mac - why not set a static IP on your box. Not sure what the lease time was, but might make it a bit more stable. Shawn
November 2, 201114 yr Is AHCI set in BIOS? Turn off anything is BIOS that you can. It looks like DNS is not set in "Network Settings"

Ta for the reply. Do I just change that under Network in the Tower settings? If I set it to static can I keep the address already assigned?

November 3, 201114 yr Leave DHCP on in the server. If you want to make it static, do so in the router with a permanent reservation for the given MAC address.
November 3, 201114 yr My Comcast Cable Modem & Router does not have a section for assigning a specific IP address, all it has is the starting & ending IP address used for DHCP. However it has an option in the duration for the lease to assign the given IP address forever. Would that have the same results as assigning a static IP address in the router?

November 3, 201114 yr Author Im on a Netcom NB9WMAXX. Is it possible here? I'm trying to search for it...
November 5, 201114 yr Author I set the DHCP Leased time on the NB9WMAXX to the longest possible it would accept 2147483647hs That should help shouldn't it?
November 5, 201114 yr Author Another thing I wondered about... My microserver came with 1GB of RAM. I bought a 4GB stick and put it in the other slot for a max of 5GB. This shouldn't effect things should it. Will it matter that its not 'paired'?
November 5, 201114 yr That should be ok - you just won't be able to run in Dual channel mode. Have you run the mem test on the memory? Try running the server for a while with just the 1GB stick or just the 4GB stick and see if you get the same results... Shawn

November 8, 201114 yr Author Use the telnet and "tail" method to collect the syslog after a freeze: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=9880.0 Done. Here is the last session. At 10.24 I started copying 18GB of data. Then it dropped out.

November 8, 201114 yr Author I did the Memtest which came back OK from what I can tell.... Uploaded with ImageShack.us
November 8, 201114 yr How long did you let memtest run? 8 hours should be enough, but 24 is preferred.
November 8, 201114 yr Author Gee a couple of hours - I didn't time it. Certainly wasn't 24hrs as I wanted to watch something on XBMC! Was it too short?
