I found Auto the best running HP Procurve switches with and Supermicro and HP Proliant DL360 G5 servers (nothing older than 2004). I had no end of problems with old PA Risc machines (10 year old) - but this may have had more to do with the admins on these boxes. If I was still using the old ?Cisco 2900s? from 1998, then I would definitely look at forcing duplex and speed. Maybe a 'hall of shame' would need to be set up? :) Cheers Andrew _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
