Is the eth0 nic a pci card? If so run lspci. As for the results from
ifconfig, you've got some problems on eth0. Look at the collision count,
16meg? Hmmmm is this connection made to a simple hub or a hub with switch
features? If it's a simple hub, swap it for a switch. If it's a switch,
then you've got some misconfiguration to straighten out. Start with looking
over /var/log/messages for network errors at bootup and during operation.

Good luck.

I am an Oracle DBA, with limited knowledge of Linux.

Recently, I removed a Windows OS from one of our server and installed Linux
AS 3.0 on it, everything works fine except ftp and backup and restore from
tape is very slow(6 hour to ftp 3G). Could somebody tell me what should I
do to figure out what is wrong?

My first question is, How do I find out what kind of Nic Card is on the
server, so I can check whethere it is Linux compatible? Do I have to open
the box to find out?

Here is some more info, you help is highly appreciated.

[root@alex root]# mii-tool
eth0: no autonegotiation, 100baseTx-HD, link ok
eth1: 10 Mbit, full duplex, no link
[root@alex root]# mii-tool -v
