I'm quite shure the cabel is OK. It's a new Cat5 cable connected to a
100Mb/s full duplex switch.
I'm thinking and thinking... Is it possible that this message is the
result of trying to exceed the bandwith?

Would I get this message if I managed to send more than 100Mb/s to a Intel
PRO 100+? Which means that to test my zero-copy systemcalls I need a 1
Gb/s ethernet card :-(

anyone?
