You didn't mention what kind of network card you have. I always run into performance issues with many modern Intel network cards, so I routinely install the e100 driver and edit /etc/modules.conf so that eth0 uses it instead of the default (but buggier and slower) eepro100 driver. I beliveve it's already included in RH8 (but I might be wrong). If it isn't, you can download it from Intel's support site. I've also noticed that Compaq supplies their own tested & verified version of it for their servers. /roc -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
