Could give it a thorough try tonight mosy likely OS related on the remote host... Remote host1 Win2K : Problems as prescribed below Remote host2 Redhat 6.2(2.4.6) : Seemed OK last night (however did not have an active tcp/ip connection to the bridged machine). However I have found a set of drivers off the Intel site for binding the NIC for fault and load tolerance - I will give them a try also.
