Maybe they need another 2 gig to allow for the extra overhead -Windows :) No network issues, I(and AdamK) have spent endless hours trapping packets to see what is happening. We did have issues with users pulling large files across from the primary server, and roaming profiles with 400mb in MyDocs. Oh and the T1 that the ISDN failover comes in on had faults, technical and physical. OH and the copper the dsl runs over had way to many joins just running from the basement up 1 floor. These have now all beeen fixed and the link is quiet until we fire up Practix. Both servers are cruising along at less that 3% CPU. Loads of free ram.
