That was it. Linking the 2 boxes with a crosslink and putting both at autoselect makes them switch to 100baseTX.=20 On the client: input (Total) output packets errs bytes packets errs bytes colls 2027 0 133782 2382 0 3605108 0 I haven't bothered to check on the server, the results being obvious. So this means the patch on the rl works, since this (media autoselect) wasn't working before. But now I feel kind of bad, since there's got to be something I clearly misunderstand about the protocol. Both interfaces are capable of doing 10baseT/UTP. Why are they doing 100baseTX? Can't I run those in a 10baseT network??? Does this mean I must buy a 100baseTX hub? I still believe there is something wrong with the vr since it is something external to the server that made it freeze, so it's a kind of DOS. It shouldn't happen, IMHO. Thank you for your help. I'm still available to test my situation some more.
