Well, at the beginning one after another client go down more and more 
until at the end nothing moves at all.

This aims in the same direction as my latest thoughts that it might be 
due to the terminal server's ether card: Out of the two ethernet cards 
it has, it is unfortunately the one onboard (intel something) which 
connects to the thin clients. Regarding your comments, this could 
either mean that the card is overdriven (too much traffic) or that it 
has some autonegotiate function which falls back to 10 Mbit at some 
point. mii-diag is the package you meant I suppose, whicht out of the 
two is more straight forward?

Thanks
Ralf
