Thanks Gus, I don't know anything about all this but I suspect there is more going on than simply the standard network operations you very well described. The network functions very well with everything else except 3DS in slave mode. And I'm not the only person using Lantastic with 5 machines or so but I seem to be (once again) the only one with this performance problem. Do you mean that the situation I'm experiencing is normal and predictable for anyone using Lantastic and 6 machines? I'd still like to know WHAT THE IDLE SLAVE MODE MACHINE DO WHICH REQUIRES CPU TIME FROM THE SERVER. No one at Autodesk nor YG seems to know. The best solution I've found so far is to simply map the network directory to one of the P90's as they don't seem to be affected. Thanks again for your insight, Alec Jason
