This might be a stupid question... But when you tested the cable, did you use the exact same port on the switch? Sometimes ports or entire backplanes can start to go bad... I just ordered a dualy 800, so the first thing I'll do is check it with the hub (don�t have a gigiabit switch, just 10/100) and see if things are kosher. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
