Network Dropouts – Directory Service Crash

Hi

We’ve had an on-going issue with Mac’s dropping of the Network. Requiring the ethernet cable to unplugged and replugged or the machine re-started to get it back on-line. Thus far logs don’t show a lot and our Networking team are investigating it further. It appears to be mainly effecting any G3’s or G4’s. Intel machines running 10.4 or 10.5 don’t seem to be having the issue.

Anyway something that’s been appearing in a few logs of late on various machines is this, they don’t really co-inside with machines going off-line but this didn’t use to happen.
