I've tried all the obvious things. Cables, router ports, rebooting etc. It's quite strange. From a cold bootup, it's fine. Then about 45 minutes later it starts to act up. None of the obvious things seem to help. Then, about 90 minutes after bootup, everything is fine again! Rock solid! Ethtool and anything else I've tried fails to yield any hints, thus my question to all of you.<BR>
