Does anyone have any first-hand experience with a single infected desktop machine (or windows server for that matter) taking out a LAN switch? Would anyone have any stories from the trenches of an infected machine causing a directly connected router to stop functioning? If so, what could be done to prevent such an outage? What IDS/IPS strategy might one implement to prevent and or at least detect such an event? Thanks in advance. ASeeker ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
