Thanks guys. I re-informed my client I had recommended the true docking stations from HP and not what the kid at Best Buy mentioned to them J
Apparently Toshiba has a lot of complaints and released a bunch of new drivers but they still cant change how usb gets initialized from windows so I don't see much help..

We experience similar issues, I just ask all users to use the network jack on their computer. Yes, it's one more thing to plug in, but it's small potatoes.

USB docking stations have not worked for my firm, across several models of docking stations and brands of laptops. Nothing but headaches.
