Realtek NICs are a crap shoot, some work fine, some don't work reliably for anything, some work for most things but don't support VLANs properly, others are fine except they don't support promiscuous mode which causes issues with some configurations like MAC spoofing, the list could go on and on... They're cheap chipsets that countless vendors build NICs based off of, and some do it better than others. For a serious machine like any server, router or firewall, you don't want cheap, you want something good. You'll be much better off with the Intel cards, regardless of whether or not that's the cause of the problems you're having. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
