I need a TCP/IP guru.

We have a very borrowing problem with TCP/IP communications.

Our Gateway was a DN3500 which was running 10.1, has one 380 MB disk 
and 16 Mb of memory.                  

Our Domain Ring network is composed of 10.1 and 10.2 machines only.
Everything was working perfectly.
 
For several geographic reasons I had to change the TCP/IP gateway machine.
So I 've installed the 802.3 controller in the new machine which is also
a DN3500 with two 700 MB disks and 12Mb of memory.

BUT this machine is running 10.2 Domain_os ... and has two disk instead of one.

After installing the controller, copying the config-files ( identicals as before )
I've restarted the new gateway machine.          

Since this time , we've been borrowed ALL THE TIME by communications troubles 
between our machines, TCP/IP seems to hang after a few time and there are 
no way to restart it EXCEPT to make a TCP/IP request from ANOTHER machine 
than one of our apollos. We have also 3 HP machines (300,500,835), how lucky
we are ...

 - The config files are exactly the same( except the name of the gateway of course).
 - Nothing has changed on the others machines.
 - All the hardware and connections seems OK. 
 - The eth. controller is OK ( same one ).              
 - Using NAMED or not does not change the problem.
                                                  
Does anybody knows what happen to our gateway, is it a 10.2 specific BUG ?
The release-notes says TCP/IP is more efficient in 10.2 is it a joke ?

We are in troubles, help would be greatly appreciated.
