Bear in mind that your average sysadmin will execute "ping server_appearing_slow_to_ars_client" and pronounce that there is nothing wrong with the network. This is because ping by default only generates a tiny packet, like 56 bytes or similar. You need to specify a *big* packet size ( integer number after host - ping host 8192 for example for an 8K packet.) Yes Remedy is very chatty over the network, but they are also often big packets.... -- Regards Dave Saville _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
