    BE 8.6 reboots my server

    Well, Once I deleted that directory that included the offending file, I no longer had reboots. It's been working fine ever since. You may want to try what I did... I made a backup job with half the directories and ran that. If it rebooted, then I knew it was in that group. If it didn't...

    VPN works Dialup but not LAN

    I have a couple of VPN connections set up. Both work under two conditions: I can use a dialup account (BellSouth) and the VPN will connect. I can use a cable-modem account (RoadRunner), and it works fine, too. (The RoadRunner account uses a LinkSys BEFSR11 router). But I've been unable...

    Norstar Compact Plus Config

    I finally figured out that I couldn't get into programming mode on the M7210 sets that are attached to the system. I borrowed an M7324 from another system and was able to get into programming with that set. This gives me enough to get it going. It's similar enough to the 0x32 system I'm...

    0x32 system - 2 lines say "Line in Use"

    Previously this customer had incoming Bellsouth copper pairs, but they changed over to a box that provides their voice lines via a T1 line (along with a data connection). This problem never happened with the copper pairs that I'm aware of. Do you have any suggestions on what the disconnect...

    Norstar Compact Plus Config

    I have the same problem, but when I try F**STARTUP, I get "Access Denied". I also get "Access Denied" for F**CONFIG, F**TIME, and F**USER (I've tried this from all 16 set positions.) I have Norstar software for another system which I think I could use with the CICS, and...

    Looking for pinout and/or docs for Compact ICS

    Oops - maybe I found it in the FAQ after all - if CICS is Compact-ICS, then I should be good to go. But I'd still be glad to correspond with anyone who has installation manuals.

    Looking for pinout and/or docs for Compact ICS

    I have inherited a Norstar-PLUS Compact ICS in a building we are moving into. I have the punchdown block attached to the ICS, but all wiring has been pulled from the punchdown block. I can see that the left side gets the incoming lines and the right side gets the sets, but that's all I know -...

    BE 8.6 reboots my server

    Well, I hope this will help other people - apparently the problem I had had nothing to do with Backup Exec. I kept narrowing down my selection of directories until I was down to 3 directories (off of the root directory.) So I figured I would just zip up those directories and backup the drive...

    BE 8.6 reboots my server

    A little follow-up. I spent a couple of hours on it last night and this morning and have narrowed down the problem. It seems to be some particular file or directory. I first split the backup in half (by number of subdirectories, not by size). The first part I tried rebooted the server, but...

    BE 8.6 reboots my server

    I haven't tried contacting Veritas yet - I wanted to narrow down the problem a bit first. I had hoped to have time this past weekend to play with it, but with the holiday & such, I never got around to it. I'll work on it one evening this week - I just can't go doing stuff that'll reboot the...

    BE 8.6 reboots my server

    I am running Win2K Small Business Server with BE 8.6 and a Sony TSL-11000 DDS4 autoloader (Dell PowerEdge 2500 server). I have two partitions which are used as network-mapped drives from all the clients. One drive always backs up OK, but the other won't. The backup runs for a while (10 - 15...

    0x32 system - 2 lines say "Line in Use"

    It just seems odd that it's always two lines (never happens with just one line alone), plus that disconnecting one clears them both up. It seems like somehow the lines have gotten bridged together inside the Nortel system. I've wondered if there's some "undocumented" feature...

    ATA - Won't Connect with Modem

    I had similar problems with the old ATAs. (We have a mixture of old & new ones). What I found is if both modems are _able_ to connect at high speed, it doesn't seem to fall-back to a lower speed, it just fails to connect. If you force the calling modem or the answering modem to connect at a...

    0x32 system - 2 lines say "Line in Use"

    This has happened a number of times with no apparent pattern: I find 2 lines lit up on the phone (M7310) - if you press either line button, it says "Line in Use". The only way I've been able to clear it up is to physically disconnect the incoming CO line (pull the jumper clip off at...
