It is possible for the problem to be caused by network card, firmware, or formatter. Rule of thumb is remove all IO devices (network card and/or hard drive) then see if the problem goes away. After that you can upgrade the firmware or replace the firmware DIMM (sometimes the DIMM is bad and therefore upgrading may not work). If may also be formatter or both the firmware and the formatter. Be careful when speaking to your vendor when ordering. Make sure that you tell them if you have an mfp machine (stress that they verify it) or they could send you the wrong DIMM. Example: Q7725-68000 is the part number for firmware for the 9040/9050 base machine, but Q7725-67997 is the part number for the firmware for the 9040/9050mfp machine. They are NOT interchangeable. It's the same with the formatter.
