I would first eliminate the hard disk as a potential problem -- boot
into knoppix and try to transfer the large knoppix file from the CD to
another system.
I believe you'll still have the problem. If so, start looking at NICs.
Some older network cards, notably RealTek (RTL-8129 and family) were
real garbage. They've gotten a lot better.
Personally, I suspect a network card. If you have a known good system,
try a crossover cable directly to it.
