It _seems_ better at and safer at 10Mbps, not really a complete workaround. Could anyone on the list update about the watchdog timeout status of the bug? Hope my suggestion could help on your specific problem. -- Marco ---------Original Message----------------------- I've tried both your suggestions (and the ones from Felix-Antoine Paradis). Sadly though these haven't helped, I still get the same error as I had before. Dont know what to try know, Thanks both of you for your excellent help anyway.
