SYMPTOMS
Every 20 to 30 seconds, the mouse will behave erratically. Behaviors include jumping from one side to the other as you move the mouse. Performance monitor will indicate the computer is at 100% CPU usage during this time. In addition, an event will be logged:

  Event ID 5027 NetFlex(x): A token ring lobe wire fault has occurred. Verify cable connection.



CAUSE
The NetFlex 2 card attempts to reinsert into the ring every 30 seconds when unattached. During this reinsertion attempt, it uses the CPU to a point where the entire system appears to stop responding momentarily.



RESOLUTION
Connect the computer to the token ring network.
