Michael,
Thanks for the reply and your input on the subject. I read
the KB article and think the router is probably the source of
my problem.
As for your suggestion about joining the Mac-Mgrs list I must
say I consider myself a developer rather than a manager and
as such choose to come here and discuss the topic with other
fellow developers. I am a software engineer by profession
and have been writing software for about 24 years in the
aerospace industry. Many years ago I was a Registered
Developer for NeXT. Because of this, I consider developers
more knowledgeable about a particular topic than user-level
type people and prefer to discuss technical issues with
them. I've been to those lists and heard everyone's "guess"
at what the problem might be. I was hoping to get
some "expert" advice/information on the topic here from
people developing network products and in touch with Apple
sources. I believe I received some good educated suggestions
on things to look at and I thank everyone for their
responses. I'm sorry if you believe I violated the charter
of this list. Perhaps I did.
Chris
