This from the 2 machines running 2.1.5, on the machine running 2.1, there is a big jump in the msec times as noted above, but connectivity doesn't halt. I did a 1024 block and it went through. Luckilly, I'm not missing any functionality that I can think of moving from 2.1.5 back down to 2.1. But this is definately weird. WinNT servers on the same network are performing the same BTW. Virtual WWW sites halt at the 'Host contacted, waiting for reply' stage. I'm going to wipe one of the 2.1.5 machines and redo a 2.1 installation from scratch. Should the system work, I will report to the list. Could be an interesting case study in the works here. -Kurt
