Thanks Dave, I did double check the CFW issue. It was turned off on the DS8100 but is on with the DS8800. Will update Sam in the meantime. Thanks again.

I don't believe CFW is related to this. I think I have an idea of what's going on, but I'd rather work the problem through our support process and then once we are sure of the cause, I can post an answer for the benefit of those on the forum.
