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...

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><br><a ymailto="mailto:justin.bennett@dynabrade.com" href="mailto:justin.bennett@dynabrade.com">justin.bennett@dynabrade.com</a> wrote:<br>><br>> Hey guys,<br>><br>> This is a little off topic, but I need some help.
