Just did an "ifconfig -a" on this machine and got these results...
I had a weird problem with a network card a few weeks ago, kept dropping packets after a hour or so of uptime.. eventually I found out it was getting very hot sandwiched between a scsi card and a voodoo3... I moved it and everything has been peachy since..
I fear that your card might be duff though !!

Who thinks this is a dodgy network card (see overruns on eth0)?

BTW : Looks like I was wrong about this machine having a 100meg card in it!
