Sorry about that, Lindsay. Replies go directly to you. Heh, heh. Additionally, you might check MTU sizes. I've seen situations where switches/routers were set to one, the clients were set to another,

There are no routers involved, just connections from the 3 tsm nics to the switch and the switch to the clients "PINNI, BALANAND (SBCSI)" <bp3965 AT SBC DOT COM>@VM.MARIST.EDU> on 04/15/2002 04:06:41

What I meant, earlier, was that while you may be using 100/full on the TSM server, and 100/full on the client, the cables plug into a switch in the middle, and each port on that switch may be configu

What are the clients involved... WinNT/2000? AIX,? etc. Have you looked at the event logs (NT term) of those clients to see if there are any errors reported there? We had a similar error message show

These are strictly NT clients right now and there is no other traffic on the vlan when we run the test, so its not interference from other clients. "Todd Lundstedt" <Todd_Lundstedt AT VIA-CHRISTI DOT

Are you sure you're using CAT-5 cable? You say the NIC's are forced at 100/full -- how about the switch ports? Is there adjacent "noise" that might be emitting across the network? Do you have old vs.

Jim, We have found that sometimes the switches have to be set to 100 not auto negotiate as well as the server. It has to do with incompatibility issues with auto negotiate and windows.

Jim, What is your server platform? I have seen issues with the NIC card being on a slower bus in an AIX box cause problems.Once we moved the NIC card to a 40 MB/sec bus we were fine.
