I too am having this problem. I built this machine at work, where I connect via switch and firewall to a T1. I moved the machine home where I connect via a Linksys router to wireless broadband. Here are the results of your suggested tests:

Both Evolution and Firefox are painfully slow, and take forever to do
anything. There do seem to be a lot of errors occurring on the
connection. I'm not sure what to make of the second command response.
How can this be fixed?

Hi all,
I am a FC3 user. I have connected a broadband internet CAT5 cable (8 Mbit/1 Mbit) to this system. Before FC3, I was using Windows XP and the speed was fine, but when I installed FC3, the speed got low dramatically
Sounds like you might have a duplex mismatch - you can use "ifconfig -a" and look for excessive errors - if you are connecting to a switch you should see none - if you are using a hub a few errors are OK.
Check the speed on the Fedora end using "dmesg | grep eth0" to see it
it's 10-half, 10-full, 100-half or 100-full duplex - make sure your
switch is the same.
Thanks for the info: results of grep eth0:
dmesg | grep eth0 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0 eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01043:80a7 bound to 0000:00:05.0
thats it? Obviously something up here but what? JonVO
