I'm glad everyone else loves ghost, but I am getting more and more upset with them. We recently upgraded our switchs to cisco 2950's and ghosting basically stopped. It takes anywhere from 5 to 9 hours to send up a ghost image of about 1.5GB and almost 15 hours to pull the image back down to a machine. Symantec seems to not have a clue on what is doing it or how to fix it.
But thats just me.
Sounds like you may have a loopback problem on one or more of you switches. I.e. two or more connections between two switches. You may also want to check the switch docs for setting to allow "multicasting" which is how Ghost loads multiple machines at once. Some switches have a setting called branching or spanning that can affect multicast packets. Turning this on or off may fix the problem.
