Well, my money would be something with the NIC. Perhaps it doesnt set its
media type correctly or its busted ? I dont know, but I would suspect it,
or the driver perhaps. Do you have another type of network card you can
try ? I am not familiar with the vx driver or how well it performs. I
generally stick to the Intel Etherexpress Pro and plain old NE2000 PCIs
when I need something very cheap.
