Thanks Rodney, but go luck. Traceroute tell me the routes looks good, but the average numbers on loopback are still very high. I re-examined my routing tables and there doesn't seem to be anything that stands out. Even checked my cables. Anyknown problems with a 3Com-509B-combo on thinnet(BNC). I don't recall any myself. Again, any help folks is appreciated. Thanks! On Fri, 8 Mar 1996, Rodney W. Grimes wrote: > Date: Fri, 8 Mar 1996 23:59:08 -0800 (PST) > From: Rodney W.
