You did not say what physical layer connection you are making to your netgear box. What does mii-tool return? I have found that my OLD netgear box likes half duplex with my network adapter. I do not know if my little bug is in the netgear box, mother board or driver. For me my little bug is easy to work around by turning off full duplex. # mii-tool eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-HD, link OK You can change it... # mii-tool -A 100baseTx-HD or # mii-tool -A 100baseTx-FD This bug was obvious when I was doing an rsync between two boxes behind the NAT box. You may wish to go as far as forcing 10BaseT on the connection as a test or connect to the net directly. Check with netgear for a firmware update. Same for the cable modem vendor. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
