The RX led on the NIC lights up and this > is the output from "show interface" on the switch: I saw this part of the message and it reminded me of a Cisco Field Notice which supposidly only effects Intel 1000T cards, but who knows it might effect fibre cards as well. The problem is a bug in the Intel cards that can be worked around in the driver. Since you've got a switch, I'd assume you have a Cisco account or know someone who does. If not, contact me off line and I'll send you the info. The link is: http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/770/fn13054.html -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
