Chuck, Unfortunately in my current capacity I don't have the responsibility (or authority) to investigate the infrastructure side of this further.
As I said, I'm rolling out W2K and this issue slowed that migration to a crawl. The W2K Project Manager who knows about my Cisco abilities asked me to "look into it". The "responsible" group hadn't even put a sniffer on it yet and I hesitate to say they understood the issue even after I gave them the resultant traces. Now with an application fix in place I don't think they will have the will to track down the Cisco issue although this could happen again tomorrow with a different legacy application once the migration ramps up again. Also, most of the Cat5000's are slated to be replaced by 5500s or 6509s so that probably won't have them doing much sleuthing on this particular issue. (This same group made some "changes" Thursday night to the infrastructure of a large building and the backbone ground to a halt Friday morning. It was still dead when I went home that evening....) Oh well, there might be opportunities there yet................... thanks for your interest Kevin Wigle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Larrieu" To: Sent: Sunday, 04 November, 2001 11:11 Subject: RE: slightly [7:19060] > Kevin, anything further on this?
