Whenever a stream of network data gets sent or received by the machine, I will get a series of kernel messages saying ix0: Device Timeout. I thought this was either an IRQ conflict or Base IO addr. conflict. So I removed everything from the computer except the Network Card, SCSI Controller, and Video Card. The Intel Etherxpress is on IRQ 5, Base Address 300x0. Nothing else even comes close to conflicting with it. Also, if I try and do a flood ping on a device on the local network I get a message saing sendto: No space left in Buffer. Funny thing is, network data still transfers to and from the machine, but at a very slow rate. Might this be something to do with the memory settings on the network card? BTW: I have tried to different Intel Etherxpress Cards, and bother of them on IRQ 5 and 10, but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated... --- Jeremy Freeman Valley Ineternet Providers
