I've been trying a number of different ethernet configurations
out... and at first I was willing to accept that the cable may have
been at fault.  However, Now that I have had the chance for further
experimentation, it appears that it may not.

I am using the 4-port DLink adapter (uses tulip chips) on the server
and currently intel fxp0 chips on the clients.  With this setup, I get 
a huge number of OErrs on the deX interface (nothing shows on the fxp0 
on the other end).  If I use an fxp in the server, no errors... and I
have tried a variety of handmade and professionally-made cables to
join them.

I have even tried shutting down full-duplex... doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Dave.
