It’s been awhile, but the Tr3 is starting to fall apart…a few months out of Sony warrenty period… and I need help with this one.  Event manager is reporting this system error every 3o seconds of so.  That cant be good. I am using a broadband connection with no phone line to test to see if it’s a provider problem…but i don’t even understand the message.  Does anyone here?  I could not find much doing a search on the web and i have not changed much re: network settings.  I have noticed over the past several months occassional bios conflict errors re: the wireless adapter.  But that went away and all is well with wireless now (is it the same physical card as the lan adapter?). maybe it’s loose…no idea. but this is my 3rd TR3 that starts to exhibit mucho probs after the warrenty period is over.  On all three performance of Windows Home goes south despite 35%+ free space on drive and defragged to the max, with registry cleaned all the time. but perhaps that’s another post all together.  here is the message i get every 30 seconds or so….

Hi
Maybe this helps
 

In Section 5.5 it reads:

NOTE: If you are using another PPP over Ethernet software on the same machine, you will find the event log flooded with Warnings from source RMSPPPOE that it received a PPPoE packet for an unknown session. To fix this, either use solely this protocol on the machine, or disable the Log Warnings option as described above.

Regards,
rec

thanks!  it does help my understanding of the problem and the fix to turn off the warning messages sounds fine, but strangely enough as of 6pm last nite, the warnings stopped.  I can only assume it’s some provider problem over this funky “cable modem without a modem connection"that they call broadband here in nepal. they give u a lan line from a pole about a 500 meters away and tango manager software. but it works. thanks again!

you said it’s your third tr3 after warranty?! Do you get after warranty service or are you collecting broken machines?

ha! feels like i collect broken machines of all types (i also have royal enfields). but no, i just try to keep products beyond the warrenty period in general but in the case of Sony it’s impossible. i only have one tr at the moment.  it was a good one till a few weeks ago. i am working on a software problem with the TR today…i hear a warning bonk on bootup and the desktop settings are changed back to default. i used to have a theme manager installed a long time ago, so i suspect my registry is confused now all of a sudden.  or the system is just on that certian road to death - just like the rest of us.
