Hell, I've been quoted in Comm Week saying it!.... Check the cables, Check The connectors, Check the terminators..... Also, have you recently added a fourth repeater on a segment. 18 months ago, I had a Novell guy (CNE) tell me that Novell does not have faith in the 4 repeater per segment spec.. He tells me Novell likes to see a max of 3..... Just thoughts.... Probably cable.... Have you got a Sniffer? They are worth every penny.... Isolate and eliminate until things speed up.. Good Luck!
