The Client machine sits nicely at 0-1 wa, and I only saw 1 once in the 10 minutes I watched it. I think we might be able to rule that machine out.
I have looked at the network side of things earlier, but may swap some cables out just for the sake of trial and error. > Those numbers are marginally high.

I have dual NIC's so I can try the other one. have to do more test's later. Thanks for the sugestions Nathaniel C.
