It's true. After making some "adjustments" to the PCs interfacing to the HP
e3000, the response time was ten times faster or more when the issue was the
network. Watch the tuning in NMMGR carefully, and don't select "auto" for
the speed: It's much better to set it the 100 megabit rate--at least in our
experience.

donna asks why?  I'm really not sure we in fact need it, but currently we
average approx. 150 active session on the box and our development group is
putting together a web app. that suppose to have 250 to 300 more user to
start
with.  So some of the power that be are concerned we may not have a big
enough
pipe to handle the upcoming load.  With the box only averaging about 20-25%
capacity I think processor wise we have plenty, but I'm not sure when it
comes
to the network load.  That's why I ask!

i'm going to add on to steve's question.....

why go to a 100bt card?  from what i've been told (from hp), the 10bt cards
that come with our systems have extra 'smarts' built into them for handling
network traffic.  this gives me the impression that we're probably getting
more
performance 'bang' for our 'buck'.  obviously though, at some point even the
extra smarts can't handle all the requests....and i'm wondering when you
reach
that point?        - d
