Hey folks

HP BL260 g5
Citrix PS 4
Win 2003 ent w/pae
2x 2.5 quad core CPUs 
18 GB ram
Single flash drive. 

We are just starting to test blade servers here in my office.  
For some reason I can't seem to get the same amount of people on this server as I can on regular dl 360 g4p or g5 servers (40).

The server seems to be running fine at 30 people.   When the 31st user logs in they get a connection error.    I get random resourse errors when trying to open large files.  The CPU, RAM & IO seems fine (in process explorier).   It looks like I should be able to get more people on this server.  

If I log off and try to get back in (RDP or ICA) my connection times out.  Like there's a network problem.   But the nic is barely going over 1%.  

I'm missing something important here.  Any ideas?
