I have a computer that on most web sites, ftp transfers or anything
related to the network
will start a connection and atart transferring for about 2 seconds and
then the connection
will die out.  This does not happen on all sites but with most.  When
booted into windows it has
no problem. It is very strange.  Have tried many different kernels
including 2.4.18 with no luck.
all info is below.  There seems to be no pattern also for this.  but it
doesn't matter 
it is ssh, http, ftp...they have this problem......any clues.

here are is all the info on the card

EZCARD10
SMC1208T
SMC

p/n: 143128-403
rev: 03
FCC ID: HED1208ENI
    (or HED1208EN1)


here is the mainboard
the machine uses a Trinity KT system board from Tyan
(product #S2390) which has the following specs:
AMD Duron,200MHz FSB,
VIA KT - 133 chipset (VT82C686A), PC100/133 SDRAM, ATX

ifconfig eth0 mtu 528

If that works, read
