Jason,
What about routing errors?  I've heard of this kind of thing happening in
other multi protocol environments on ethernet and I think I recall the problem
was in the routing of "other" packets internally.  I also heard that if the
server and workstations were e-config'ed the problem went away, because the
server now understood and could handle the "alien" packet traffic properly.
This is all third hand, but thought I'd throw my $.02 worth in.

Ken
