[QUOTE="ovbg, post: 1168795, member: 162687"] I don't see trolling yet. Windows7 is a nice OS and much better than the earlier attempts, but a lot of what I like about Win7 is what MS "borrowed" from Apple. That said, networking issues can be a hassle, and if everything was working fine on Windows then not on OSX, one can get frustrated. The problem with networking issues is that there are so many points of potential failure. Just because the Mac's don't work properly, but the Windows ones do, doesn't always mean the issue must be with the Mac's. It could be with the switches, in their configuration or a pile of other places. I have had many similar issues connecting Windows PC's at work. So much so, that I gave up my IS career after nearly pulling all my hair out. Unfortunately, it left such a stain on my personality, I have since almost wiped all my networking knowledge out, so I'm not much help here. Something is slowing both those iMac's down big time. have your IT guys do some traces from both directions and see where it starts to bottleneck. Is all of your network traffic slow? i.e. what about the Internet? If the Internet is fine and that follows a different route, then you are half way there. Try a different switch and see what happens then. [/QUOTE]
