Hi Errol;
   Thanks for the heads-up, we had a similar problem with the Dell 755 machines which
turned out to be PXE boot related. The dell 760's and 780's was supposely  ordered with the PXE
boot problem fixed.
We've had no problems with the 760's  and 780's deployed elsewhere. I will look into this problem further
and get back to you to let you know what was up.

John,

There does not appear to be a problem with the network connections for the new Quickstations in W51.

The chances that all the new replacement workstations would fail on previously-working connections appears to be strange. I believe that the problem may be with hardware configuration.

Please note that the workstations are being serviced by multiple switches from various locations in W51. The possibility that they are all failing at the same time is odd.

I am currently connected to jack #W51-000LA-217 in the lobby near the main entrance with my Lenovo notebook with no connection problems.

Regards,

Errol Morrison
