Ah- hadn't realised you had a discrete AP that wasn't in your router. Packet collisions occur when two devices try and send a paket at the same time to the same device. Usually file-transfers are the biggest culprit. Probably not that. Since you are using semi-static IP's (which is a good thing), you need to double check that your SB hardware boxes have not cloned the MAC addresses of each other - this usually happens on SB3's for some reason. Check the mac address on the label against the address reported by the device itself. The other somewhat related thing that can happen is a corruption of server.prefs file which also has MAC-binding encoded within it. To check this, stop SBS, backup your server.prefs file somewhere then delete or rename the original and restart SBS. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
