Ok, now that you guys have got me hooked on the sims again...I'm working on using NL over my LAN. Yet, my host computer (P3-450) starts running like a dog when using only 2 nodes on a 10Mbps hub. The NICs are 10/100 Linksys, and I've strapped them for 10meg, unbinded all protocols except IP...and I still get lousy performance. The latency is .03 seconds and there are no other programs running. Connectivity between the 'puters is fine since I could ping, share files, access the print server, etc. Also, I don't have any device conflicts, and I moved the NIC to another slot (just in case...have seen that one before). I'll throw a sniffer on later to look for any weirdness on the LAN, but me thinks the OS is having an issue w/ the NIC. Anyhow, TIA, TR
