Escuse-me for my english mistakes :-) But I've had many problems with network adapter using DEC DC21x4x chip. The main problem hapenned whenI used two adapter in same computer (my most importantly router). I had many mesages about "abnormal interrupt". Afeter few months, I discouvered my upload was very slow. This error hapenned a lot when someone was downloading something from my site, using fast connection. In this computer I have one Etinc sync adapter and the problem was solved after changed two DEC Network to NE2000 pci compatible. Now if I have some computer with problem, frist of all I look for DEC Network adapter in this machine. Looking for goods Network adapter in some mailing list I've using Intel Express (fxp 10/100) and D-Link DFE530-TX (vr - VIA Technologie 10/100). Until now I not found anything wrong with those adpters. Paulo Fragoso. > > Is there anything more to this than: > 1. Someone pulled out the ethernet cable and put it back? > 2.
