I think you're just asking for more trouble, that's all. Like we all said in the beginning, you should attempt a new router rather than going out and buying $1000 in relatively untested technology.

I thought we had established that you were going to try it with a 10base100 hub in place of your current router?

Moreover, how are "opening quickbooks"? Are you attempting to open a database file (note the italics) across the network? If so, there are software solutions to this problem that would keep both servers up to date (to whatever interval you chose) with the current database file. On the otherhand, if you are attempting to transfer the entire Quickbooks program over the network to open on the other machine, then it will inherently be slower. Paint me a picture of the entire scenario and I _will_ find you a solution.
