Hi, Are you using the eepro.o ethernet driver? If so, do you see many errors in /sbin/ifconfig output...? I'm especially interested in seeing your /sbin/ifconfig output if you are seeing significant or high proportion (errors:packets) numbers in the "errors", "carrier" and "collisions" fields.. I'm tracking a problem which, until found and fixed, _could_ be in the driver... Please reply privately to keep this traffic off the list for now. Thanks, Pierre
