did you ever try to install win2k/2k3 on it and apply all fw-patches
from hp to the box? you also could try the fw-upgrade-cd, which is
avail as iso-download on hp.com. the NICs also have upgradeable fw,
check for this (if you didn't ;-))
further, you could check for some special settings, or boot your sys
from the cd, configure the NIC and run some tests (w/o installation
or customization).
what i also wouldn't rule out is a possible hw-defect on your box
(or an older/incompatible chipset revision) even if it works proper
under MS (you tried that, haven't you ;-)?).

beyond you can see some stats from our box so you're probably able to
compare your system to it. the box has been cold-booted before running
an ftp-transfer of 5 and 20mb as a GET and then a transfer to another
host using put (also 5 and 20mb). all run under 6.1-RC2.
