Um, er, when we discussed this back in December it was pointed out that the total cabling limit for 100BASE-CX and 1000BASE-CX (STP) is 82 feet. Since you're also running an additional 100' of UTP in that segment you're pushing your luck even without cable degradation and the coupler in the run.
Temporarily replace the STP cable with an above-ground substitute and see if that clears things up. NealS _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
