The box stopped receiving packets, but a > "ifconfig eth0 promisc" 'fixed' it. Sorry forgot to mention: I'm running FC6 with the 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 x86_64 kernel. RPM says that it is based on: * Wed Jan 10 2007 Dave Jones - 2.6.19.2 I tried to upgrade to the forcedeth driver that is supplied with 2.6.20-rc4-mm1 but that gave results that look like Tobias' description. Then I downloaded the Nvidia provided version from: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.21/NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.21.zip The forcedeth driver from this file announces itself as: Version 0.60-Driver Package V1.21. After some minor patching I got this to work with the FC6 2.6.19-1.2895 kernel and I just played 2 movies through the network whilst downloading a large number of files onto the server. So far no network crashes. Maybe something for David to try out as well? Thanks for the information, With kind regards, Jeroen
