The problems are still there. Any other hints? When I throw in my 0.02 EUR, please bear in mind I am no kind of OS specialist, but I have to fight a lot with deficient hardware in our school's network. So here my experiences: 1) Realteks are ok with workstations, but are no good with servers. When requests from different machines arrive they frequently give in. I never had any problems with Realteks on my private computer at home (running -CURRENT). 2) Are you sure there are no IP conflicts in your network? If you are using DHCP you should check it's address range. 3) Did you check for defect cables? If a NIC can only be run with 10 Mbit this might be the reason. 4) Do you have any routers? Check them too (a defect DSL router might cause all kinds of troubles, though internet seems to work). Just trying to give some more hints: Uli. +---------------------------+ | Peter Ulrich Kruppa | | Wuppertal | | Germany | +---------------------------+
