Only for an hour at night when novell servers and unix servers
are creating a flurry of backup activity.
I just went into work (on another sunday *sigh*) and found a
window in which I could drop the server. (I am sure you know how
hard that can be some times). I Reconfigured the SMC NIC to be
int 5 and i/o 200 (was int 10 i/o 330) and it works like
gangbusters. I swear that the previous settings were not
conflicting, but it just didn't work well.
Oh well, if we see any more of these we can tell them to try a
different int/io first.
Thanks for responding.
Wayne.
