LurkerHere Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 don't use build 4015.. there's a huge exploerer memory leak with the sidebar on(i love the sidebar) so i'm ditching that build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatez Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 My network is fine with Longhorn. Not sure why it doesnt detect/install some hardware but it seems to be a bit bitchy on the environment at the moment. The explorer memory leak isnt that noticeable after you spend a day or so tweaking. My uptime is about 2 weeks with 4015 atm, and in this time i've only had 2 explorer crashes and 300mb ram used :).

John Veteran Posted May 25, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 25, 2003 woah !! i turn mine off every night!!! one of the things microsoft has focused on a lot with the NT line of windows is reliablility. the simple answer is because windows is built to run for weeks, if not months ;) edit: oops, i thought you said "why u leave u computer on that long"...

NXPdev Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 the simple answer is because windows is built to run for weeks, if not months ;) Microsoft claims Windows Server 2003 can go for at least 6 months up time... haven't had 6 months to try it though!

epple Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 i've had xp pro running for over two month once, while using it as my ws, so i bet server2003 can do 6 months. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid vicious Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 FWIW: I'm a legit OS tester for MSFT and had deployed Win2k3 Server on most of the servers @ my small company starting w/the first RC and have only had to reboot them to install the newer versions. No crashes, no need to reboot after making major configuration changes, etc. Excellent OS in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac_Gyver Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 If you tell us the EXACT name of the ethernet card (Realtek-8029AS or whatever) then we can help you finding drivers ?! Was the card detected in Windows XP/2000 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedr0 Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 it refuses to detect my ethernet card. it can see it, but theres a great big yellow exclamation mark by it... grrr... It actually DOES see your card, the problem is that it is conflicting with something else without showing. Check if the card uses IRQ 11, if not, change it to use that IRQ. This was a very common problem with old NICs when Win2k was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velocity3k Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Had the same problem with my network card but what more can you expect it is still in alpha. Stick with XP at least until Longhorn hits beta 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
