I just fixed a problem similar to this today. Why this happened I don't know, but I had an IRQ conflict with my CD-ROM and the third serial port. It caused ed0 timeouts and all sorts of other weirdness to occur, which went away as soon as I fixed the conflict. The ethernet card is jumpered to IRQ 10, so I don't know why it would care but as soon as the problem was fixed my ethernet speed jumped up to a nice respectable 700+K/sec. Maybe this helps? Nate
