might transfer data slowly, I ultimately discovered that my network adapters eth0 and eth1 are set to 10Mb half-duplex. The statistics show errors and lots of collisions. I'm not surprised.

The cables could be badly made (even id they are cat 5 whatever). Check that pin 1 and two are conected to one twisted pair of wires, and pins 3 and 6 to the other. A common mistake is having 3-4, 5-6 pairs: that will not work at 100mbps, and probably will work with errors at 10mbps. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
