David, are you sure you were hitting 30% bandwidth on your net, and
not 30% CPU utilization? 30% bandwidth is amazing. On my net, which
has 30+ users pretty much all the time, when I've got two people
doing SQL database searches and several Macs printing 24-bit 400dpi
files, all to the tune of several thousand packet per second, my
bandwidth has *never* gone over 10%. CPU utilization does peak at
times, tho', up to 70%, even, but not for too long. If you're really
getting that much bandwidth, I'd be suspicious that something is
wrong. Your mentioning of bad network cards to John is a good one,
tho'. He might have gotten a bogus card that freaks when the load
gets beyond a certain point.
