Fabio, I sincerely appreciate the ideas. Both times, the error occured, one of the machines involved was a win sys 7 x64. In the days of Dos, DP required a statement files = 40, buffers=6 (or greater) in the config.sys. files = 40 was not the default. Unfortunately, the x64 machines are using dosbox to run. I can get information on the Dell Poweredge switches - but other than the laptops, none of the hardware has changed. Chris
