We had a similar problems at our company and it always involve a network card of rl type. We found that the autosense did not work properly and had to force it to
"10BaseT/UTP" even on a 100BaseT network. (I am assuming you have a HUB support 10/100 switching).

This can be accomplish by the following command.

ifconfig rl0 10BaseT/UTP.

Hope it help, if someone as a solution to make it run in 100BaseT, I am all ears.

Thanks for the help, but It didnt seem to work on my machine, Igot this back from it:
su-2.04# ifconfig rl0 10BaseT/UTP
ifconfig: 10BaseT/UTP: bad value
su-2.04#


i have no idea what to do next and I really need to get this working.

Thanks

Sorry I forgot the media keyword

ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP.

Another problem may be your cable. Improper cable may work well in 10BaseT but not in 100BaseT
