Ok, this is the topology: laptop ---- [upstairs 10base hub]-----[Downstairs 10base hub] -----| | DSL ~~~~~~[Alcatel Router] ----- [FXP server FXP] -----| I get the same problem if I plug the laptop directly into the downstairs hub, and also if I plug it into the router (which has four hub ports on it). The server is configured as an ethernet bridging firewall. I think that it is extremely unlikely that the network infrastructure is failing in the same way when I plug into three different parts of it. Also, I didn't used to have this problem even with the came cabling.
