looks like no errors to me.
RX packets: 2134
errors: 0
...
not 2134 errors as it might seem (note the colon (:)) (that was not a smiley it was a colon in brackets)

Oeps, my fault. this nic has also some problems with mandrake linux, On the other hand, windows 98 doesn't have any problem with it....

What sort of connection do you have?
Does your NIC connect go straight onto the internet?
Does you NIC give you any trouble when connecting to other machines?
Have you tried another NIC?

This looks like a lot of questions but it is just a standard troubleshooting procedure.

1 ADSL connection treu a (freesco)router. So i is just a local connection nic.
2 Nope, just see 1
3 Hmmm don't seem to understand that question...
The nic is a nic from the motherbord, so i can't just switch the nic to a other computer. The nic works fine under win98 and fedora core2.
4 I placed a good old rtl8139 inside the computer, and it is very happy now, just lost a pci slot which i only have three off in this computer.

I hope this answers your questions.... me is just wondering, why a intel nic is breaking down when it is getting under a more heavy load....
