This error message appeared up to 10 times a day, different processes,
random times. Couldn’t find an answer anywhere. Also had frequent
“carrier dropped” messages on the cable modem interface. Replacing the
cable modem solved both problems.<br>}<br></div>I don't have the carrier dropped problem but that might be because I am using the router as a switch. Thoughts? <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div>:-)~MIKE~(-:</div>

<div>Is it only this one computer with the
problem, or is it all devices on the network? Also, does your
computer have more than one network card? When you moved it, did
you use the same port on the router and on the computer?<span><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>well this is interesting.... I reboot the
machine and at the login screen went to tty1 to
check if it got an ip address. Well, it wouldn't
type. Then a message appeared saying:<br>
<br>
</div>
BUG: soft lockup- CPU#0 stuck for 24s! [Xorg:
1465]<br>
<br>
</div>
and every now and then it would say that again.
sometimes it would say:<br>
<br>
BUG: soft lockup- CPU#0 stuck for 24s!
[Kworker/0:2.68]<br>
<br>
</div>
actually I think the decimal is just a character that
isn't showing up fully because at another line that
appeared the decimalwas like a dot towards the top of
the line and there were lots of characters that weren't
all there.<br>

<div>sorry.... I had to go to work...... now
back to the problem! unfortunately everyone
is in bed but me. is there a way to get the
router to give ip addresses without
rebooting? the computer isn't the fastest to
boot (it was a vista machine). WHile I was
at work I was told to check that the cable
didn't go bad so whe I got home tonight I
tried another cable praying that was the
problem. Unfortunately not!<br>
</div>
Oh.... I think you guys misunderstood.... I
was saying 'got it' to Gilbert (the message
before my last one.<br>
