Verify your network adapter in the server if it is set as auto then change
it to full... ( if the adapter is 1 GB set it to ! GB full..not auto)
Do you have mixed clients?  ( say w2k, aix, netware).   Mine, I set my
selftunetxn and seltunebuf  to yes. I have mixed clients in one TSM
server..

Your client network adapter should be set to full also. For the other
parameters I'm talking that's in the W2k or Winnt client.
