UNC Connections for Remote Catalogs

[Interflex]

I have a dedicated Index Server with approx 30 catalogs. When I try to
create another the Property Set does not fully populate. But if I
create a catalog pointing to another server the Property Set populates
fully. So I suspect that there is some type of communcation problem
with the Hosting/IIS Server.

The servers are not part of a domain but part of a workgroup.

Thanks for responses.

I was having a problem with the Property Set fully populating after
creating a new catalog so it would not return any results. After one
week with Microsoft I finally got a tech in networking and he
discovered that there was a large amount of collisons on the network.
The issue was resolved once they turned off checksum on the network
card

Properties of network connection => configure => advanced => checksum
offload

This had to be performed on both servers. Once I did it everything
works great! Thanks to George and Toufik for the hard work. Now can I
can ramp to 1000 catalogs.
