I am running a server on a Power Mac 9500 with a 300 MHz G3 on an XLR8 ZIFCarrier card. It has 400 MB of RAM, a 40 GB disk and a 120 GB disk both connected to a SIIG ATA/133 card, a Matrox video card, a SIIG USB card, an OWC FireWire card, and 2 RealTek 10/100 Mbit network cards. It is running 10.2.2 and XPostFacto 2.2.4. My network consists of a Snow Airport Base Station on 56k dialup and a 100 Mbit Hawking 8-port switch.
When I copy files FROM the server to my PowerBook G3 (Pismo), the server locks up and the transfer freezes somewhere along the way. I copied a 51 MB disk image from my PowerBook onto the server without a hitch, then it pukes when I try to copy it back.
While I can log in as a user on the server, it appears that all of its network function halts. When I try to access the machine in a regular browser (running Apache) it does not respond. This happens when I am using the Airport network and when I've got the PowerBook plugged into the switch.
This is really sucking hard, and I'd like to get it fixed. It looks like RealTek just released new drivers for their NICs today, and I'll try those when they fix the corrupted archives. In the mean time, does anyone have any idea for this?
