Try re-configuring things for half-duplex and see what happens. FWIW, if you connect the computers with crossover cable, then Full Duplex "should" work, at least theoretically. If you use a hub in between, then full duplex is not supposed to work. In practice, it often tries to, but the performance is horrible. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Someday we'll look back on all this and plow into a parked car.
