Now I'm emailing myself.. :D UDP may not be the problem at all - with ONLY TCP set up on the server, but still using 2 NICs, I can make the problem happen. However, it is not will all Solaris clients - only a small few. I'm researching now to find out what is different. Thanks for the nudge - looks like I'm sliding downhill fast now.. :D Eric -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Anderson Systems Administrator Centaur Technology The moon may be smaller than Earth, but it's further away. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
