<body><BR>Thanks Adam,<BR>
<BR>
I have a NAS head with 4 NICs connected to E300.<BR>A few days ago, the NAS head had got stuck during boot up. At that time the throttles couter was imcrementing, so the NAS seemed to keep sending the flow-control frames for a few hours. E300 would have recieved 31*4 pause frames per second continually.<BR>
When it occured, E300 showed strange behaviour. I rebooted the NAS and the throttles counter stopped incrementig. After that, E300 began to work fine.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks again.<BR>
