Another thing to look out for is that you are using the latest driver for
the network card. I had similar problems with (from memory) a Tulip card,
at work, also on a RH distro, and, after a quick web search, found a
much later driver, which cured it.
Have a look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking for the
info file on your card. You may be able to turn off DMA on the NIC, which
could make a difference if there is a DMA conflict.
if the machine is dual-bootable, another trick is to look at the resources
for the card under Windows (DMA, IRQ etc), and compare them to those
Linux. You could then fix them the same under Linux (turn PnP off)
if your LAN is ethernet coax, you did remember to put the terminating
resistors on the Tees, didn't you??

Too right.
A collegue gave me a demo of the Cross-over Wine package the other day: he
fired up Internet Explorer on his KDE desktop <grin>
