Hello, we have found that if we disconnect the cable 11 seconds into a 12 hour burnintest, the test will STILL pass. We are using the standard network test and have the "high bad packet ratio" checkbox checked. Ratio is set to .2% and timeout set to 2000ms. Since your program uses UDP packets, setting "every bad packet generates an error" is not possible. (I have yet to see a system pass a 12 hour network test with that box checked)
In fact, I ran a 15 minute test, and after the first 15 seconds used device manager to disable the NIC. The test ran to completion, and had no failures.
I know that there are problems with dual NICs as I have posted about that issue before, but this is a single NIC system! Passing a system that for 11 hours, 59 minutes, and 49 seconds of a 12 hour burnin that was disconnected from the network is pretty alarming, I should think.
Here is the test log, thanks for your help.
