In our experience, Rays are hopeless at this kind of packet loss. I briefly tried swapping out the GBE switch for a Netgear 100 baseT one, but that didn't seem to make much (if any) difference. Any help greatfully received! In our case, we could not resolve problems with Cisco equipment, but instantly solved the problem with inexpensive Netgear Gb/s (GS108) switches. Our host is an X4200 running Solaris 10, and so similar to your config. This switch problem is rather a showstopper for us, since we do not have resources or political influence. Networking here is great, but we are the only campus users of Rays and we have only a handful. For Rays near the server, Networking was willing to insert our switches into their wiring closets. Another workaround we've used: add a router at the target site. We've used ordinary desktop systems for this, with two interfaces (one to the public network, one to the Rays). Not ideal, but it helped in the case of the Ray 1. The timer workaround is reportedly helpful, but we still run SRSS 3.1 and so have not tested. -- Darrel Hankerson _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
