texte = Hi Tried all of these I'm afraid. Disk has loads of free space, lots of free ram, permissions are fine, no problems on disk, no large dbs in fact nothing out of the ordinary. I have a friend who also uses webdna and is in the same server location as me, different machines and different ip ranges and his machine usually goes off within an hour or so of mine. We had originally thought of some sort of attack but can't find any unusual traffic. Similar set up but not identical, same problem though. Joking apart you don't think SmithMicro has some master plan of pissing us all off enough too leave do you? Could they have a way to do it? Don't want to appear all paranoid or anything.
