No collisions or errors on the TX or RX and this machine has been up >100 days. The adapter that is giving the slowdown is a 1000/100/10 speed adapter as well. Its running the sk98lin driver. Maybe I need a different driver for the adapter (Its on the motherboard).

I tried running the mii-tool package and I get an error on the eth0 adapter

SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Bad address

It works fine on the eth1 in the same machine.

Also, check the stats provided by ifconfig and see if there are a lot
of collisions or errors on TX or RX.

could a media negotiation mismatch.  ie, one end thinks it's
full-duplex, the other thinks it's half duplex.  mii-tool should tell you:

eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok

I'm having a strange problem on my home ethernet.

I have two linux systems that are connected via a 10/100 hub, a linux
workstation and a linux server, both running slightly different versions
of Mandrake 10.0.

When I do a sftp get from the server to the workstation for a large file
(like an iso image) I get about 170kb/sec throughput (as indicated by
sftp).  When I do a sftp put from the workstation to the server I get
500kb/sec.  And a get of the same file takes much longer than a put of
the same file.  I've also noticed this performance problem reading from
the linux server using a Windows/Samba connection and using a linux
client using NFS.  Writing data is fast, but reading is slow.
