Re: Spnning beach ball
I only view the job I'm working on.
I work at Communicorp which is owned by Aflac. We print all there brochures and since it is all pretty standard we use JDF for about 95% of there work and since they go though these brochures pretty quickly we just keep it all on line so all we have to do is plot another set of plates and then print.

Do you have a Rampage Phone Support contract? If so, you should call them. They've helped me track down some really obscure problems before. And if you don't have the contract, I suggest you get it if you can. Sometimes I call them 5 times a day. If I didn't have the contract that would eat us up at $200 a pop (it may even be $225, I can't remember). Anyway, it's the best bang-for-your-buck I know of as far as tech support goes and I couldn't do my job without it.
Good luck -- J

Re: Spnning beach ball
easiest way to check your network. Get the IP number of the server where the pagelist resides. Open the network utility on the mac. Do a trace route, results should be one or two hops at the most. It'll depend if your switch is managed or not. Then to a a series of pings. My average through one unmanaged switch was .387ms. 100 bit on the mac and 1000 bit on the server. Also check and see what speed your server is connected at.

Lammy,
Below are the results from the trace route. Are these normal?
Traceroute has started ...
traceroute to 172.16.**.** (172.16.**.**), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 172.16.**.** (172.16.**.**) 3.155 ms 0.293 ms 0.112 ms

Shane-
I'm not great at IT, but I'd say you definitely have a network problem. That first ping at 3+ ms is WAY too slow for 100 or Gigabit. You say your having the same problem on other Macs too right? I'd run the traceroute there, and you'll probably see the same results.
Are you and the server connected to the same router? If not, can you connect a workstation directly to the router and rerun the traceroute. You should see something more on the order of .2ms or .3ms for all 3 results.
