Not sure what you mean about hijacking the thread, but I am sorry -- I |

didn't mean to do anything wrong. |

As far as the switch, its on a hub that is on the span port of a foundry |
| 26 |
switch (the hub is used as a poormans network tap -- I have seen the |
| 27 |
same type of failure on machines directly connected to a switch also) |

The cable is a commercially manufactured cable that tests out correctly |

- -its about 6 feet long |
