My problem is the ping times on the network card are around .80 | when pinging it self. The config on that card is 0x300 and irq 5 using | le1 as it driver. My problem is the other two servers in the isp are | getting around .20 when pinging it self and using a different driver. I | would like to know what is wrong and what can maybe be done. Please I | need help. +--- I believe, and you cn correct me if I'm wrong, but the machine you're running has an ISA network card, while the other machines at the provider (TZ-Link) have PCI (or one has PCI and the other is onboard ether in the Sparc2). Are you having problems, or are you just curious about the differnece, because you're still only talking about .2 ms vs .6 - .8 ms. I see the same difference between nmy PCI systems and ISA system, but have had no problems with either one... --Gene -- Gene W.
