And your server's on 100BaseTX? No wonder you're having slowness issues! :-) Yes, go Gig-E on your server. After you've done that, then do a Gig-E link between the main lab switch and the second lab switch, or the folks in the second lab will have a problem (73Mb * 8 terminals = way more than 100Mb). Look, it's either that or spend tons more money on Windows boxes, with virus/worm issues, BSA audit threats, etc.; you're still saving major, major cash here, dude. --TP On Wed, 2005-10-12 at 23:33 -0700, gKw-X wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> Alright, they don't have much money at all, so I don't want to spend it on something without knowing for sure. It couldn't be that my server is too slow? This happened with only one machine logged in, though many of them were booted up and sitting at the login screen. But only the one machine was being used. Also, they have two labs, the main one is in the same room as the server and has 18 computers, the second lab has one cable running to it, which is then branched out to another 8 machines. So even if I get a gig uplink switch in the main lab, the machines in the second lab are going to still have this problem?
