If you see anything in the 'collisions' counter, then your connection is trying to work half duplex. In that case come back with details of the ethernet card and driver you are using, and I will show you how to force half or full duplex.

Re: [newbie] ETH01 Failure
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.
