Is this normal behavior? It doesnt seem to matter what the physical medium is (UTP, Coax or Fiber), nor what type of CPU is involved (386-40's to PII-300's). It also makes no difference if I stay on the same segment, or cross as many as 4 routers... <<>> :) Please reply directly, as I have had to unsubscribe (I just couldnt read it _all_!). TIA!
