Or >maybe just bad luck ;-) Well, I might think that also, except that I had exactly the same problem on 2 very different machines. I also tried on 2 completely different network segments, 1 rather busy and 1 practically dedicated. The specifics of the machine(s) were: Box 1: '486 100 PCI MB w/8 MB ram 600MB IDE HDD Dec-chip PCI card AND ne2000 clone (tried both) Cheap VGA card Box 2: 100Mhz Pentium 600MB IDE HDD and 130MB HDD (tried both with large and small swap spaces) Dec-chip PCI and ne2000 clone (tried both) monochrome adapter Nothing fancy, and the same MBs we use for lots of other systems and for the systems that we sell...so the MBs are (or at least have been) compatible.
