That could be it. Seems to me though that it would only cause it to
be slow to connect, but be fine afterwards? I'm not sure on this,
but it would help to know what part is "slow". If it connects fine
and is just slow, it could be any number of other things. Check your
logs. Always. :) And look at the settings of course; you may be
right that it's the cards. Just a shot in the dark- you mentioned in
another message the mtu was set ok, just check that it's the same on
both boxes. Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe if you gave some
info on the cards somebody else could help a bit more.
