Can you give more infos about your network ?
Do you use 10base2, 10baseT, 100baseTX, hub, switches ?
This problem could be the result of a mismatch between host and switch or
hub config: one end half-duplex, the other full-duplex. This situation can
arrise when both network elements don't negotiate properly.
