Marc, you tried all the suggestions and nothing helped at all? One
last thing to check is whether flow control is on or off in the NIC
properties. Can you try that and toggle and report back?
can you also please post the output in text of ipconfig /all from an
administrative command prompt after you toggle and reboot?
to answer your question on router recommendations, I know several
folks that are very happy with the Buffalo line of routers. However,
we should be able to solve the issue with your current setup without
resorting to that.
