Exactly Bob, and this was why Andrew, I suggested using the DOS utility to force half-duplex, full duplex with testing performed each time. And as far as the networking terms go, errors = bad. Pretty simple. As you can see with your test, every one of those errors are overruns. 3: eth0: mtu 15

Hello. I'm using Bering-uClibc (not sure which version since the box is headless) with Linux 2.4.32. It's running on a 486 with four 3c509's in it. One is connected to a Motorola Surfboard 4200 cable modem. When I get online with my Windows laptop using my LEAF box as a gateway, my downloads are
