It seems to me that you'd be best to look at hardware/driver issues. Try reseating your network card, or try a different slot. Is it an ISA or PCI card? Try a different cable. Check "dmesg" as I said above to see if you're having 10/100 full/half negotiation issues. Try a different hub. Best of luck, David
