If anybody has any ides on this please advise. Wait for a response from a more qualified person, but in the mean time I'd say that this isn't the result of having "too many users at the same time". I think whoever told you that was thinking of mbuf starvation which can occur when the network activity of the box reaches levels beyond those anticipated with the confusingly named kernel option ``maxusers''. I'd say the much more likely culprit is your hardware. Inadequately cooled CPU's aren't the only possible problem, but they certainly make for a cheap fix if that's what it is. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
