That would explain the errors showing up in ifconfig: RX packets:49595 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:61048 errors:41 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:41 My box is 100/Full Duplex. If the Linksys is 100/Half Duplex, receive packets will arrive without errors, but transmit packets may or may not hit the Linksys at the right time and result in errors, correct? Next chance I get, I will change the server's link speed and see what happens. If this is the problem, I would find it to be quite odd because the XP machine that I used for testing is also 100/Full, so why wouldn't have it been affected? Furthermore, since I also tried putting a 10/100 autosensing switch between the server and the Linksys to check for speed/duplex problems, why would the server still be having trouble? -- Shawn
