Hy

possible that it is a setting in the registry.
See ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-docs/papers/

I'can't connect to the link (ftp is blockt at our site) but you houl'd see some information. if blockspace from your ehternetcard is less then 9.6 microseconds, you can run in problems.

hope you'll find something

cheers

peter
