That sounds like a very good description of my situation. My cable is
pretty old (might be Cat3, not sure), but when using a laptop and
limiting the connection to 10mbps I get a good and reliable link. With
sb2, I complete the ethernet setup process (I'm assuming the negotiated
speed is 100), get an IP, then it starts complaining about the ethernet
connection. Sounds exactly as your comment about not being able to
sustain the negotiated speed. That sb2 firmware upgrade with a speed
limit option could just solve the problem for me once and for good...
