Axon Sync

I've been playing with collage on our 2 axons. I'm having trouble getting the fixtures to stay in sync when sitting in the same look for a while. (10 minutes or less)

I've tried the media mode rewind preset and letting them go at the same time, which works great, but they still drift apart.

I've also tried using the sync to settings, but one thing I'm not sure of is do you have to set a value for in and out frame for sync to to work? Also if you let it run for a long time and it gets out of sync, then try to use sync to to rope it back into sync that doesn't seem to work. Should it?

I am running 1.4 on both machines, and they were bought at the same time. They are older units though if that makes a difference. Render time is consistently 100-200 higher on one machine. What is the accepted range for the same piece of content?

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I've read through the other posts and seen questions about gigabit ethernet. What is the difference? Aside from it being faster.

    Yes, the content is encoded according to the High end guide. It is a higher resolution though, 1920x1080. Would that make a difference in sync behavior?

    The servers are on a gigabit network, addressed as servers 1+2. I am running CMA on my laptop. there is a 100mbps router hanging off the gigabit switch handing out I.P. addresses.

    I have the info screen up and notice that both machines keep sending sync packets, but neither says they have recieved any.
    I've tried telling each machine to sync to the other, but neither seems to respond.
