what about the logs? try increasing verbosity level of the daemon corresponding to the service the other machines are accessing and monitor the logs with "tail -f <filename>" Also you don't mention what services are causing trouble... any of them? If any, than this is probably a hardware issue. Marcin -- -------------------------------- Marcin Owsiany [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------
