One of t= hem=20 is a dual core athlon64, and it's network connection is indeed flawed unles= s=20 I change debug.mpsafenet to 0. The other machine is a regular athlon64 and= =20 has no problems at all. Both systems are running 6.1-PRERELEASE amd64.=20 With debug.mpsafenet=3D1, cvsup failes with "protocol error"s on the SMP bo= x.=20 Also, I run several Half-Life: Counter-Strike servers on it and clients=20 occasionaly receive corrupted UDP packets which cause them to drop the=20 connection. However as soon as I changed debug.mpsafenet to 0, all problems= =20 were gone. So, maybe you should try changing debug.mpsafenet. =46YI: the SMP box has an Asus A8V (agp) mobo, and the other box an Asus K8= V SE. Pieter de Goeje
