NOT MUCH HELP! They are recreating the steps I already took, but I understand that. Before I called PSS, I had extensively worked w/ the Network Engineer on the network layout/connections. Just to be safe we connected the E2K box both DC's and 1 client, to test with, all to a Foundry FastIron II switch. Set all NIC's to 100 FullDuplex and did the same on the switch interface. Also replaced all nics. Still the same issue. Should be fun. I really appreciate all the input. I'll let you know the fix but I'm sure it will be a site specific issue & not much help in the future. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Bouzan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 10:42 AM Subject: RE: promoting E2K to a DC > auto-neg - work of the devil!! > > PBB > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Di Nardo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 20 March 2002 16:55 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: promoting E2K to a DC > > > I didn't want him to spend money unnecessarily either.
