BUT !!! Something in my current setup is triggering some hard to exibit problem. Mine previous problem with ARM board for example shows on ten physically different boards with several PC different in hardware and software. I really don't think it's only hardware problem (but it could be hardware related, i mean 3COM NIC's can somehow brighten this problem). Well , I don't really know what the hell is going on, That's why I'm calling for assistance. Regards, Vladimir
