Question:
my w2k sometimes re-boots when I attempt to activate connection to local
network
why is that and what might be a remedy?
Answer:
There is your key: Work for several hours on the same unsaved
document, then make a network connection and hey presto! -
the machine will reboot.
Seriously: If the Event Logger fails to reveal the cause of the
problem then you will have to disable a couple of startup programs
at a time for one week until you know what's going on.
If this matters - since recently I strated havong problems with VPN
connection with my provider Error 789 Attempt to connect L2TP failed because
of an error happened at security level during communication with the remote
computer.
This seem to be linked to Zone Alarm for when I shut down Zone Alarm, the
connection is made quickly. If after that I start Zone Alarm, the
connection is broken within several seconds or minutes. The IP adress of
VPN in question is listed in Zone Alarm firewall listing as trusted - might
it be relevant?
I also have Kaspersky but like Zone Alarm it has beein installed 2 years ago
and caused no probs until recently.
