Not a dicky bird of a problem (that couldn't > be tied to elsewhere of course ;) We've used SMC products for quite some time as well. We do think there's a problem with heavy NFS activity with this card, but there's so many different variables that it's not 100% for sure. We recently tried a couple of new cards from a recommendation. These are the Intel PCI 10/100 cards. At $79 you can't beat the price, and I'm told these are the only cards that support Full Duplex at 100BT. So far we've been impressed, but we haven't swapped the card yet into a heavy production machine. Just another opinion.... > > Joe > -- > Josef Karthauser > Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net > Pavilion Internet plc.
