At the moment I'm on my HP Pavilion N5435 laptop, also going through the router. It's the same problem with the laptop, so maybe the router doesn't like Linux. ;-( Sure hope that's not it.
The laptop only has one connection: eth0. According to Linux, it's an Intel Express Pro 100. The collisions line states: collisions:0 txqueuelen: 1000 Since I have no idea what that second word means, I thought it might be worth mentioning. Thanks for your help. I'll log on via my desktop later and see how it is. BTW, I didnt have network hotplugging checked on this one, and it's as slow as the other. I haven't checked the desktop yet.
