But now something strange has happened. When downloading files from the linuxbox to my winbox I get lots of transmission errors, but when downloading from the internet to the winbox everything looks allright.
I can also upload files to the linuxbox from the winbox in normal speed.
I am currently working on the same problem and have solved this in one place by making sure the card is running in half-duplex. This is with a Tlan card on a 10Mbit network. So if you have a 10Mbit network make sure that the interface is in half duplex. See the SuSE manual for the extra parameters to set when configuring this card from yast. This works when it is loaded as a module. Further info on configuring this card (also when compiles directly into the kernel) is in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/3c90x.txt This also has some explanation what you can configure in 100Mbit networks and should help you out. For me it made things 20 times faster! BB, Arjen
