I have this problem and need some advice/opinion. One of my remote office PC using 7.1 pro working as DHCP and internal DNS running on Intel i815 mobo keep falling a sleep in the middle of the night (3am, 7am, 11pm, etc randomly), and loss connectivity both locally and remote (where my office is) when trying to connect the next morning. The fact is it just need to touch the keyboard and it wake up and running as it suppose to be. But this is a big problem as the remote site is unmanned most of the time. APM is not active, no funny logging in the /var/log/message but the log just stop there? what can be wrong? I have a similar setup using i820 PC doing the same thing in another remote site and it does not have this problem. Both PC setup is almost (I supposed) the same. Any comment? Dennis/sg
Check your BIOS -- you may have something set in there. Good luck! -Steven On Tuesday 26 June 2001 10:20 pm, Dennis wrote:

Checked that, nothing unusual and the random timing is the problem of the problem. Dennis/sg

It sounds like the NIC is the one going to sleep. I have seen that in Windows, but not Linux. Some NICs have APM support to go to sleep (I don't know why, they only caused me problems). Just a thought. ;) -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yes, you may have the jackpot. I will check on the type of the NIC in it. The i820 is using Intel but the sleepy PC I am not too sure, it may be a realtek? Thanks for your advice. Dennis/sg

Have ya checked the power management setting in the system's BIOS? Perhaps it's enable there. I usually turn DISPLAY, HARDRIVE, etc all to DISABLED on a machine to run 24/7 non-stop...

The BIOS setting is correct, no APM function enabled. I have figured out some abnormal activity on the server (ghost?). And suspecting the cable routing maybe the cause of the problem. It may have picked up noise and somehow make the server go to sleep? I have disconnected everything for two days and it seems like the server is running awake now? Now, is there any tools (software especially) that I can use to check on the noise level? I don't have wave analyser or other expensive equipment with me. : ( Thanks for all the help and advice.
