Hello, I'm getting a similar situation using 2 Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B adapters in a router box pulling around 6mbit consistently...the error column in netstat -in reveals a few errors and nfs mounts and traffic starts freaking out...then a reboot gets it right... I was thinking of switching to a dual Netelligent 10/100 from Compaq...anybody know anything?
