The problem is that I see chokespikes on many of the server, if not all. They either run bge or fxp. I will get an em NIC available later and will test that card instead. afaik em is not a miibus card as bge and fxp are. I dont know if it will change anything with other NIC, but I am willing to try. /Bjorn -- "Before you criticize a man, you should walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you are a mile away from him.
