Their switches and routers just don't get along with many auto-negotiate nics. But I doub't 3com is blameless either. Often plugging a dumb hub beween the nic and the router will solve the problem. I think ifconfig does some of these tasks. -- _________________________________________________ No I Don't Yahoo!
