If it wasn't for the later messages indicating hardware issues I would have also suggested trying a different MTU (particularly since you didn't originally say 'ethernet'). Another thing that may be contributing to the failure is the full or half-duplex auto negotiation with the hub. Symptoms of this are typically slow transfer rate particularly in one direction. This can sometimes (depending on the module) be fixed by specifying explicitly half duplex to be on the safe side. -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
