In Monitor under Lan information TOKEN RING for token.lan - what is a ring status of 30 and ring status of 8220. My customer also had his lost frames take off. They climbed to 500 when He had the 30 and then they stopped. A couple of hours later with the 8220 his lost frames took off to 7000. His performance dropped. He tried desparatly to clear connections to no avail... THe server finally got a GPI. I know he's got some kind of communications problem but am not sure where to take him from here. ANSWER : Most of those problems tracked in Monitor are directly tracked off the hardware card. Most likely it is a communication problem with the network hardware. It turns out that the problem was caused by an intermitent short in one of the cables from one of the workstation. The customer replaced the cable and for good measure put a new card in the w/s.
