Yes one file from the same source totalling 50mb. On the 9.0 box takes 
22min and on any of the 8.0 boxes 8min. OK 8min is high but that's the 
AS400 problems and load. But there shouldnt be this amount if difference 
between the 8.0 and 9.0 machine. From the google pages I'm seen it's 
probable that the driver is at fault. I've never used this one before so 
I cant compare it to anything. I'm still going to drop a Netgear in when 
I can and try that.

Kev,
