<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks guys, after hours of troubleshooting
with guys who's native language is not english, I had them pull every network
connection from the switch except the servers, and plug them back in one
at a time, It wound up being a drop that ran to a Dlink switch in
an area where salesguys plug in their laptops, as it turns out one of them
apparently plugged both ends of a patch cable into the DLink switch...</font>

<br><font size=3 face="Roman">Another possibility is that you have a mix
of half duplex and full duplex links in your environment. This causes
FCS errors that cause lots of retransmissions. This is especially
bad between switches. If your switches are talking to each other
in full duplex but the machines are half, bad things happen. It's
the same problem if you have full duplex machines and half duplex switches...
Give that a check<br>

The first thing that comes to mind are these;<br>
1. Duplicate MAC address on the network ?<br>
2. Bad termination of an RJ45?<br>
3. Some windows box gone hay wire?<br>
