Thanks for all the answers posted in response to my original
question (at the end of this message)!!
First, I should check, if the NIC is an DE500BA as previous DE500
cards are not capable of doing Fast Etehrnet Full Duplex what Danny
Petterson pointed out to me.
Second: See if the switch is capable of Full Duplex and that the
computer is directly connected to the switch withoput a hub in
between.
