Paul,
        You must be a seer, or highly experience. :-)

        What we found was that with the move, all the switch ports were
set to Auto, but my master & media were at 100-Full.  Had a network
engineer correct the port and it's all good!  I will soon look at moving
to auto, since we have Gig cards and a Gig switch.

Thanks to all,
Jason
