NETServers run a horribly broken version of MPIP, so you can, with fairly low reliability, get the same effect with NETServers. I don't recall the commands to configure it (having, thankfully, not dealt with NETServers in several years now), but they aren't complex and should be in user manuals. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Yeah, when we were on the NetServers it worked most of the time, sorta. The users who needed it knew to expect the problem and would disconnect and reconnect until they got a solid mutlilink connection. When it worked it worked well for the duration of the session, or so I remember. You just couldn't depend on it being 'first time, every time'.

Yeah...they basically had to reconnect to the NETServer that had their previous multi-link connection. Which means that, as you hunt group gets bigger, the problem gets worse. Fun, that. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

That is pretty much what I suspected was happening, but I never proved it.

You can probably go back in the archives (usr-tc.1st.net still have them?) and find some really thorough dissections of the problem that I posted in the past. :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
