No, you're only hurting yourself: Thread hijacking describes using the reply facility of your email program to start a new thread (instead of starting a new, fresh email, e.g. by clicking on the ML address). Email agents that make use of information in the mail headers for displaying threads will show your mail inside the structure of an existing thread. Some people might not even find your message buried in there. See the following link for knowing what I mean: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.gentoo.user/browse_frm/thread/601571a0fced1a73/e17f8a0483af6690?tvc=1 As far as the switch, its on a hub that is on the span port of a foundry switch (the hub is used as a poormans network tap -- I have seen the same type of failure on machines directly connected to a switch also) The cable is a commercially manufactured cable that tests out correctly - -its about 6 feet long Did you try if it works with another cable, on another port of the switch/hub? That would be proper exclusion of probable errors. You're description tells me what you have, but not if it's working right now. HTH, -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
