I find that the inbound network speed is way too slow. I tested using netperf. The outbound speed was 7.2 Mbits/sec but the inbound was just a mere 0.2 Mbits/sec. What could be wrong? The network card is an AMD PCnet PCI. Previously, I had 3.0-970527-SNAP installed and I didn't face this problem. But I had another problem with the snapshot. The network died about twice a day (can't ping or netstat -i) and sometimes crashed the system with the following messages: Jun 16 08:36:53 cc621 /kernel: lnc1: Heartbeat error -- SQE test failed Jun 16 08:36:53 cc621 /kernel: lnc1: Babble error - more than 1519 bytes transmitted Jun 16 08:36:53 cc621 /kernel: lnc1: Missed packet -- no receive buffer Jun 16 08:36:53 cc621 /kernel: lnc1: Memory error -- Resetting Jun 16 08:36:53 cc621 /kernel: lnc1: Initialisation failed What should I do? kt
