I have no idea why your server has become unstable. Have you tried all the usual rememdies? I mean: a) Zap the PRAM (and reset timezone, appletalk, etc.) b) Rebuild the desktop c) Run the latest Disk First Aid and/or other disk maintenance programs d) Disable unnecessary extensions or control panels If you've done all this, please email support@menandmice.com with details of the problem. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
