Thanks for all the responses. The answer that helped to correct the problem was Chintu's suggestion to investigate MTU. We found that setting MTU to 1300 solved the problem. Other responders suggested tinkering with MTU and verifying that the nic wasn't set to autonegotiate. Thanks again for the assistance. Vic Here is Chintu's suggestion. Chintu wrote: > Well..
