I believe you'll still have the problem. If so, start looking at NICs. Some older network cards, notably RealTek (RTL-8129 and family) were real garbage. They've gotten a lot better. Personally, I suspect a network card. If you have a known good system, try a crossover cable directly to it. Ciao, David A. Bandel -- Focus on the dream, not the competition.
