Hi Brian,

Tried that - just failed to document it in my plea for help! Switch is
hard-coded to 100/full and I've tried both hardcoding the card to 100/full
and using Auto negotate on both NICs tried (Intel and 3com).

I'm also seeing this error just on the client after I rebuilt it as a
NetWorker server i.e. Client tries (and fails) to back itself up! Traffic
shouldn't be travelling over the network at this point so the NIC shouldn't
cause any problems even if set wrong.

....unless there's some special Legato code in there, of course ;-)

Cheers

Mark
