Some vendor NICs can't autoadjust when the other side is some other vendor NIC. Don't know whether your 2 NICs have this problem intercommunicating. However, if the problem disappears when you set them both to the same speed (for instance 10Mbps half duplex), you know you have this problem. Then, either keep them at fixed speeds, or replace one of the NICs. > And is there any way to log errors? Sometimes "type lantran.log" gives this info, but I think this depends on the driver...
