I don't believe I can do this - the switch I'm using is an unmanaged switch. In any event, I've completely removed the switch from the equation by using a crossover cable to connect the machine I'm trying to install to the pxe install server. The problem appears to only go away when I use the slower nic (i.e. 10/100). > > Sincerely, > Richard Black Thanks for your response. Joe Robertson
