Hmm, network config and performance tuning can be a bit of a black art. My guess is you are routing the packets differently somehow. Try turning everything off except C-0, C-1 and the switch and see what you get then. I'm assuming you are using the switch to seperate your LAN from the ADSL connection/router machine, so you wouldn't need the router powered up unless you are connecting to the Net? Then again IANA network expert so I might just be talking rubbish ;-) Cheers, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
