I am on the phone with PSS right now. NOT MUCH HELP! They are recreating the steps I already took, but I understand that. Before I called PSS, I had extensively worked w/ the Network Engineer on the network layout/connections. Just to be safe we connected the E2K box both DC's and 1 client, to test with, all to a Foundry FastIron II switch. Set all NIC's to 100 FullDuplex and did the same on the switch interface. Also replaced all nics. Still the same issue. Should be fun. I really appreciate all the input. I'll let you know the fix but I'm sure it will be a site specific issue & not much help in the future.
