Yes. In my original post, I tried to be as informative as possible, there's always something that gets left out. Being a Novell shop (but not much longer!) we put portfast on all ports going to servers/clients. Here is the config of one of the ports on the 6509B that's having the issue: interface FastEthernet6/4 no ip address duplex half speed 10 switchport switchport mode access spanning-tree portfase I've toyed with speed/duplex, etc and nothing makes a difference... However, I did find out something interesting. While using the SPXping utility, I found that I can *not* "ping" from the affected machine and get a response, but if I use SPXping on another machine, I can indeed get a "ping" response from the affected machine. Strange..... Thanks for your input! Mike W.
