Many thanks to the initial responses and the nice ndd scripts.

Setting the ports to non-autonegotiate is actually what we have. What
strikes us is communication between the single NIC'd servers are okay. It is
only when a single NIC'd server communicates with a server that has dual
interfaces that the performance is degraded. Netstat on the servers come out
clean - port stats on the CISCO also come out clean (according to our
brilliant NetAds...)

Thanks.

Nelson
