Well , You are completely right on this one . I have Dave's 1.11 running at this time & the same conditions appear . I beleive that it will appear at times of zero traffic for long periods & will show the intermittant halts during medium to high traffic . I now beleive that the Netgear hub is failing and have purchased a switch to replace it with . But it is odd that no other port on the hub is showing this behaviour . One more try by moving the cable to the other set of ports .

Will report back , as soon as I have time . Again Thank You, JimL +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | James W.
