This sounds a bit like an issue I have seen before but with DOS based network drivers for the Netware 3 client. Basically when a machine was turned on it would take a few seconds to initialize the network card link to the switch. Pausing for a few seconds before loading the network drivers solved the issue. I wonder if something has changed in the network driver? Rob -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
