> Also, I've seen problems with the Realteks in 2.6.9 kernels, that seemed to go away with later 2.6 kernels (around 2.6.13, from memory). > Given the debian box is 2.6.8, that might be an issue, so you might want to try a later kernel.
That may be a good point, however as the machine is off-site, rather critical, uses some compiled software and eth0 is less important (i.e. it's our internal network - I'm more worried about large backups not taking forever to transfer), I'm not too keen to upgrade the kernel just at the moment :^/ I'll discuss this with my colleage and we'll see if we can organise to give it a crack... Thanks heaps for all your help!
