I've seen "impossible" network problems like this traced to a bad ethernet cable. One system ran fine for a year until I had to sit in front of it for 5 mintues. Problem was its "CAT 5" cable was connected 1:1, and not with the wires properly paired. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
