Not sure if it is remotely related to your problem, but I've noticed something similar happening when I was using a Netgear DG834 router and happened to start up a box with a gigabit ethernet card (everything else was 10T-100). While the gigabit card was negotiating speeds with the router everything else was unable to use the network. That could last for up to a minute or so. When I changed router the problem went away. -- Regards, Mick
