Are you using NFS between the systems? Good question about OSX, and I hadn't got to that part yet :-) But I was hoping that some OSX drivers existed. My fail back plan is to put 3 x 1GbE NICs into the server and just use crossover cable between the 3 workstations and the server to avoid any contention within the ethernet network.
