OK. The most common cause of problems like this is
incorrect duplexing. Unless all your hub is a switch,
you probably want half duplex.
So you want to make sure all the cards in
the internal network are set to half duplex.
I used to use a ms-dos utility for ed0 cards.
If you've already done this, what is your ftp speed
like?
