OK - I think there are two items of concern here. 1 - From an IP point for view, your subnet masks are different, so your broadcast addresses are different. 0xffffff00 = 255.255.255.0 0xff000000 = 255.0.0.0 The 10/8 subnet is all private, so its not a big issue, but you really should pick a subnet and stick with it. Small is beautiful, so I'd checnge the linux box netmask to 255.255.255.0. 2 - "Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300" is a dead giveaway - I'd bet (but only a very small sum...) that this is a horrid old 10MB half duplex Ethernet card - probably an NE2000 clone - possible even an old ISA card. These cards were *rubbish* because the CPU does ALL of the work to inspect every packet. Shell out £6 for a new D-Link PCI 100Mbit full-duplex one from http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?product_uid=43684 and my guess is that'll fix your pain. You could even be a cheapskate and get their own-brand one for £2.75+VAT.
