Hi Gerard, If you connect to the box via ssh, then you might want to try using the "-v" switch to ssh so as to get a more verbose output when connecting. It should display evidence as to where in the connection any delays are occurring as far as your sluggish connectivity is concerned. Do the cards themselves produce any information for you? Post some stats from the nics as returned from:- netstat -in netstat -s netstat -m At the least, you could try "bouncing" (ifconfig down / ifconfig up) the interfaces if the situation degrades dramatically. Hope this helps.
