We all know Try the Simple Sh!* first... It seemed as though, refering to how the questioned was asked, that this individual had already done the rudementery troubleshooting. I could be wrong, and if that is the case, then I appologize. With that said, the power settings on NICs seem to cause problems and can be linked to many problems caused at customer sites. Greg is right, if you haven't already, check the Simple Sh!* first. Lucas W.

Switch ports can go bad, however, it is a rare thing to happen. Other than that, I would slap a cable tester on the line and check for continuity, etc. One last thing, you could sniff that portion of the network. That would give you a great indication of whether you have a chatty NIC or if there is another problem. Most likely, though, it is the user's NIC and / or configuration of the NIC in the OS. =3D3D20 Lucas W.

There are no timeouts specified in her user account, or on the citrix server, and no other users in that office is having a problem. The user is on WinXP pro, using a custom ICA to MF1.8a. I'm starting to think that something might be wrong with her NIC or Cat5 drop.
