The server has two fxp interfaces, one is connected to the DSL router, and the other is connected to a hub which is chained to another hub. The router is also an unused hub. > It would also be a good idea to test the laptop more directly, > by connecting the FXP server to a switch and then connecting the > laptop directly to the same switch. I've connected the laptop to the both of the server's fxps, in the first case using the combinations of the upstairs and downstairs hub, and in the later case via the hub on the router on the other side. I get exactly the same behaviour. This to me says that it's not the hubs. To test it further I'll build an ethernet crosser cable and plug the laptop directly into the server. That'll settle it.
