on and off. When I try to ping the machine from a workstation the pingtime
is various from 1ms to 13xx ms and sometimes even an timeout occurs.

The system is:
Motherboard: MSI
Processor: AMD Athlon 1800+
Memory: 1024 Mb
Videoboard: Diamond Viper II 32Mb
Harddisks: 2 x Maxtor 40 Gb IDE (prim master and slave)
CDrom: 32x Mitsumi
SCSIboard: Adaptec 2940
Tapedrive: HP SurestoreTape 5000
NIC: 3Com 3c905c TX M

This is after a complete install? And just to check, is this SBS 6.0/6.01
or the public beta of SBS 6.5?

This part is fine

I get nervous with multiple IDE drives in other than a test environment --
there might be an issue with theIDE drivers here (I believe the MSI board
uses some variant of the Via chipset)

No problem (though a DAT-1 drive is small for 80G of drive space).

Not sure that this might be an issue -- I tend to go with Intel 82557/82558
cards myself.

This is still the nw6sp3ed copy that i've downloaded. With the same purpose
of aquiring some knowlege about Netware, thats why I use IDE disks and a
5Gig tapedrive, I don't have some SCSI disks or a big tapedrive lying around
:-( otherwise I would have used them offcourse.
Youre right about the MSI board it uses a VIA chipset. I've updated the
specs below about the board.
I will try with just one IDE disk maybe there's a difference ?
Thx again

No problem -- for test/training purposes your configuration should be fine.

It might, also, there are updated IDE drivers and you might use them

Looking at the "Health Monitor" with the Remote Manager it says that the CPU
Utilization is 100% !!! (BAD)
I figure that this isn't normal. How do I know whats the cause of this.

One other way to check -- at the console:
Monitor -- then tab key
