Is there a solution to this problem? Could it be using parallell switches, or actually separating the servers into smaller networks and link them through another nic for the smaller services like file and printer sharing? Is it possible for Linux to have more NICs installed to have more cables link

If you have a alot of heavy traffic going to the server( switch or no switch the Server only has one nic) you can get collision problems cuasing a slow boot. I have had this paticular problem in the past. Evan On Fri, 29 Nov 2002 14:06:56 -0500 Derek Dresser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Quoti

I also observe this behaviour. I have a 512Meg server, two 8 port switches daisy-chained, 8 identical client computers - with identical rtl8139 cards with boot ROMs, 100Mbit all round. DHCP comes from another small server, tftp comes from the big one. Usually, everything is fine. But under some
