OK, I believe this is an interrupt problem. I turned on debugging and the memory locations of the tx and rx rings look OK. THe problem is nothing is being sent/received, the rings are full but nothing else. I need to figure out how to mount a USB flash drive, under -CURRENT as the Guest and Red Hat 9 as the vmware host. Then I can send the output along. I'll look more into this tonight as my test pod is dead without this stuff and I need to test some IPv6 stuff. Later, George
