If that's not the problem, it could be you are running out of mbuf's since in V2.2 the mbuf pool was a fixed size (ie. the pool itself didn't grow). There are some configuration file parameters that you can change to increase this (sorry, I don't know what they are). -- /--------------------------------------------------------------\ |Jeff Michaud michaud@decwrl.dec.com michaud@decvax.dec.com| |DECnet-ULTRIX #include | \--------------------------------------------------------------/
