OK. The most common cause of problems like this is 
incorrect duplexing. Unless all your hub is a switch,
you probably want half duplex.

So you want to make sure all the cards in 
the internal network are set to half duplex. 

I used to use a ms-dos utility for ed0 cards.

If you've already done this, what is your ftp speed
like?

Eddie.
