Not sure what you mean about hijacking the thread, but I am sorry -- I didn't mean to do anything wrong. As far as the switch, its on a hub that is on the span port of a foundry switch (the hub is used as a poormans network tap -- I have seen the same type of failure on machines directly connected to a switch also) The cable is a commercially manufactured cable that tests out correctly - -its about 6 feet long TIM Timothy A.
