i'm wondering what's the reason why. i've used 3com nics for the past 10
years and my experience with them are reliable. for my *nix boxes here i've
been using the vortex nics and they work fine.
i think the real problem here (in this thread) is your cisco router. the
default config of the ports for cisco are the cause of our problems so we
have to reconfigure them (don't have the details right now).
