network problems

Hi

Compaq ML370 G2
256Mb memory
NC3163 network chip using e100 driver 3.4.8-NAPI from intel
RH linux AS 4 beta update 1

Since installing RH i cannot get the network to work properly,
if i ping from the ML370 to the gateway the times are awfull i am
seeing numbers like 2014ms to 5013 ms. and packet loss from 10% to 50%,
ifconfig for eth0 shows increasing RX overruns and frames values.If i
try to telnet to the box from my pc running Xp i get request timed out,
and the ping from it to RH shows numbers for ms.
My routes look fine, apart from re-installing does any body have any
insight, the e100 driver is the latest by the way.

thanks

I had more or less the same problems, fixed by recompiling the
kernel using a 'vanilla' sources.

Never did a kernel recompile do you have the steps , and what is a
vanilla source?
