Search Again: More Crashes From: Philip Butler Date: Friday, May 12, 2000 Time: 12:00:01 pm Ok, Macsbug is installed but still, when my Private DNS Server crashed, it did not kick in. The computer just got hung. Here is my situation, I came into this position a little over 5 months or so. They have been using this application Quick DNS Pro, (which seems to be easy, effective, and trouble free) for a couple of years. Before I came, about 8 months ago, the DNS servers began to freeze. The servers were old 6500 or something. I replaced those thinking it was time for an upgrade and it should fix any freezes that are occuring, but the freeze followed the applications. I used the same Data files from the old computers with the new computers. Both DNS Servers continue to freeze without fail and it's getting frustrating. I appreciate everyones help in trying to fix this problem. Have I miss configured Macsbug? ( I didn't really do anything) I did install the Tenon's version with auto reboot(didn't work during a crash). My time clock is set to intervals, my virtual memory is on, I have increased the RAM allocation for QDNS Pro by 3 times its needs. I have turned off every extention on the computer save those it requires to run. I know that there must be some configuration that is the problem. If others of you are having no problem using your G4 servers, then what is the difference between your servers and mine. I am totally open to ideas. I do have some logs from Macsbug. Any help is greatly appreciated.
