Both are connected via a ethernet hub (no other computers > > in the network) Hi, had the same problem some long time ago. solved it by buying a SWITCH (not a hub) as I was told that the collisions occured when the computers exchanged the "acknowledge" infos upon receival of packets. don't blame on that, I'm not quite sure it's true, but hey, since I have the switch it works really great !! BTW, the switch is also 100MBit and costs around 50euro in Germany (assuming from your subject: ) Joel
