(I've heard *that* before.) Be absolutely sure that all network connections (NICs, switch ports, etc.) are *all* hard-set to the same (proper) speed and duples settings. (You're almost always better off avoiding "auto-negotiate" as the setting.) Run an ftp session to check against your TSM transfer speed. Nineteen times out of twenty, slow transfer rates and dropped connections within a LAN are cause by mismatched network settings or flaky connections. If speed and duplex settings are correct, and no other client suffers from this problem, check your cabling and/or change switch ports. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE
