I too have a client with a similar problem. Approximately every 17 days,
the network slows to unusable and needs to be rebooted. SBS2003 Std with
Symantec Corp Edition 8 and Symantec AV for Exchange. Veritas Backup Exec
9.1 for SBS. The server reboots fine. Also notice that we get Allocated
memory alert e-mails a few days before this problem. Have 2GB RAM.
