youve got a good link (layer 1) and nic (layer 2) there.... no dropped or overruns packets in there... it means your rtl8139 was doing perfectly well.. but it is better to bombarded more packets to your router (eg. big file transfer between two subnets so that the packets will pass thru to your router and run top to see the cpu utilization if there is an increase in cpu load during heavy network i/o) and see the statistics if indeed youve got a clean errors... if it is clean then you can narrow down your troubleshooting from device driver (layer 2) and up (layer 3 and other factors) as what i indicated in my previous post... fooler. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
