maybe they meant service rather than server? Hmm there's no "box" inside
a server. they're just regular home PCs really (except the look flat
like a DVD player and are mounted in racks with lots of other servers
generally).

I've tried to decipher what he was saying...the only thing I can think of is
that they were saying they were having a network issue which was eventually
traced back to that one server. That one server/box was pulled off the
network to protect the network. In that scenerio, it wouldn't be a server
"fault" causing that kind of an issue...more likely a DoS attack.

I reccomend a lot of people I don't use .... different people have
different requirements! I reccomend a mate of mine who is a Unix host
.... I use Windows! I reccomend a windows host, I don't use because I
can't afford it! Its horses for courses init!
