Umm, I did start a separate thread.

I switched to the onboard NIC and things were great after that. I was
using the PCI network card because that's the way the system was setup by
the previous admin, so I assumed there was a reason for not using the
onboard card.

Funny thing is that I have the Realtek card in another system (suse 8.2)
and it works like a champ. Hmm... oh well.

thanks,
brian
