Hmm I was thinking a lack of settings on the driver end. Like, the IRQ's don't match up, or the IRQ does match up and the Port doesn't. That can cause some weird things to happen, especially with the EP (3Com 509 Compatible) driver.. I'm using EP0 and EP1 as two 3C509 16-bit NICs.. First thing I did was disabled plug and play on both and set real variables. Good way to find out if it's an IRQ or a PORT address issue is to try to download a stream from a local machine. Like do an FTP to a nearby Win95 machine or something. If the speed is severely low (like 2-15K/s) I'd aim for that instead.
