I had suspicions that my switch may be the problem, tho it works fine on my desktop machine. The documentation in the kernel source tree said for bonding mode 5 I wouldn't need any special switch, however, in mode 5 I dont get any response. Any idea of whether using two switches would make a difference, with one NIC per switch? Ill try that later when people are sleeping and wont be using any files. thanks Ross Jeff Largent wrote: | This may be a result of your switch. | Some switches cannot handle multiple instaces of the same | mac address.
