Is PC3 by any chance an older Pentium which you have put a PCI network card into? If so, this is very likely the problem - most PCI network cards require busmastering support. I beat my head on the wall at a customer's for a week before I yanked the PCI card and put an old ISA card in - bingo, works great.

PC3 is pretty much the same as PC2 - both AMD K7V. All the nic cards are linksys execept that the server has two nic cards and one is a linksys and one is some other brand, since my husband understood from www.timhiggins.com that it was less confusing if they weren't the same. But thanks for the feedback.
