Bert- Totally agree On the PM didn't set up the email so that's not the problem ure right will break out the server to be just the server -me bad and cheap- have a managed switch have looked at the network traffic But it is dynamic can refresh every 15 or 30 seconds but have to watch this under load on the network and I'm part of the load hard to observe when ure taking care of patients with ure nurse asking u things with a doc on the line. GREAT tip on the speed thing have run on some clients already pinging at 0.9 to 1.2. Am going to purchase antivirus and run it. On the RAM thing in reality the clients are taking up to 380MB RAM as well. The NIC cards are all auto and the switch has 4 1GB backbone ports the server is on auto plugged in to one of the GB ports Raja sounds great send me a PM - looking on the posts people are running AC with more overhead than what I got so I think AC is the last on the list as far as the problem goes- Ask Raja if he needs the server toolkit don't know if I have this installed but obviously will need it to diagnose what is the problem - Will keep u informed This stuff keeps me sane versus fill out this prior auth By the way wish I was up in Maine it's 105 here now
