Well, I nipped home over my lunch break & gave it a try - some progress, of a sort. My NFS problems have gone away (at least under light activity), but it now seems rather sensitive to sending lots of stuff. The symptoms observed are a hard hang of the whole machine, no response to pings or keyboard action. I cant even break into DDB. How I reproduced this is as follows - get the netpipe program off ports, then set up a receiver on the non-realtek machine as follows -
NPtcp -s -r Then on the RealTek machine do this - NPtcp -s -t -h non-realtek-hostname -P After about 5 or so lines of throughput stats, it dies in the bum.
