Are you using an external tranceiver? If so, check that it is plugged in
corectly. I know this seems strange, but what can happen is that the
connector gets pulled down by the weight of the transceiver and cuses it to
not make a 100% connection on the top half of the connector. The symptons
are very slow AppleTalk. To fix, simply make sure the connector has a level
path to the socket. (ie have it so there is some pressure being put onto
the connector by sitting the transeiver on the bench behind the computer so
the connector is level.)
This problem seems to be most prominent on 7200 design motherboards, go
fig. All I knoe is that I have had this exact same problem on 3
PowerCurve/Center 120's and wiggling abnout the connector fixed it.
