If i'm moving all vlans (one or two or three or all 30) to fxp or xl - everything working just properly. No packet looses. But with bge - 40% of packets being lost. Is it driver/os trouble or just my adapters should be changed? I'll try to do the same tests on my notebook (dell) that have bge adapter also, but not now :) Best regards, Anton
