I don't know if it is related to the problem or not or is a coincidence that once I did that the problem has not arisen. It happened about 3 times today before forcing the connection to be 100tx. If it starts to happen again I will try and log in to the console and do the netstat -i then... In the morning I will break out my powerbook and get the switch port assignments off a chart I have there so I can log in to the switch and check the port for errors. I have not swapped ports/cables on the switch this time around but have had the exact same symptoms on a server with the same HW that was using different cables and a different switch... I may swap cables but the machine is downtown and I am not so unless I cannot make progress I want to avoid going downtown :-) I may swap the mainboard if it happens again to see if it is HW. I have one or two spare mainboards of the same sort. Thanks! Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net
