Hey, Alex, For a similar setup (except that users are doubled and I'm not using bridge), I have a PIII/1GHz with two Interl EEpro100 cards. Works fine, at least for now. The only problem I'm experiencing is with heavy udp traffic, f.e. Counter Strike and Bnetd (Diablo, DiabloII, {Star|War}Craft) game play. Then the machine is reaching some really high load averages, like 8 to 10. Have no idea how this could be avoided. I'd appreciate any suggestions. -- ________________________________________________________________________ So long, and thanks for all the fish!
