Hello Davina,
The solution as stated from the archive will work only on SLES O/S, I tried 
this on my RedHat server and got an error message that it is not a recognized 
config/value.

This is an issue with the st driver in the 2.6 kernel. The solution is 
in the archives, search for a thread entitled "Networker 7.2.2 on SLES9"
