What else is on the network? 

We used to have, like last year, problems with Ultras running Solaris, using
an hme interface (capable of 10 or 100 mbit), and Sparc 5/10/20 running
SunOs, with le interfaces (only 10 mbit), whereby the SunOs boxes used to
register 'giant packets' and the interface used to hang for a couple of
minutes. We never really sorted out the problem....but it was something to
do with the Ultras/Solaris/hme combination reducing/skipping the 'inter
packet gap' - so depending on what else is on your network....

I was checked and the MTU is 1500, the same as another server running
RH6.2/i386 and doing the same function without any problem.
