It can be caused by any scanner in cases of running it across subnets. Routers (especially old ones) are getting overloaded by the requests the scanner is sending. You may want to observe router's utilization while running the scan or IPs discovery tasks.

Its looks as if I may caused a severe slow down on a network recently and think the scanner may have caused it. What I am trying to determine is whether existing problems in the switching enviroment may have been exaserbated by the use of the scanner. Anybody else ever experience these sorts of issues with Retina? dale __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! - Get yours free! http://my.yahoo.com
