i have a lab with fedora core 4 machine with a network card 01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet

Controller (rev 02)

and from time to time the network seems not working anymore.

after a few second the network goes up again.

The result is that i lose about 30% of packet.

when i boot windows on the same machine i have the same problem.

That does seem to suggest a hardware fault (a bad NIC, or the
combination of your motherboard and NIC).  Can you try a different one?

well i made a mistake with my sentence
i have no problem under windows
and i have 12 same computer and all have the problems with FC4

nevertheless thanks for your answer

Eric,

What does ethtool eth0 tell you about the interface?  Are you getting
any errors in /var/log/messages concerning eth0?

This sounds like an autonegotiation (duplex) problem.

Bob...

here is the result
Settings for eth0:
       Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
       Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
