(Answer) (Category) NetMAXFAQ : (Category) General :
The "lnc 1" (PCNet/PCI NE2100 compatible) PCI Ethernet device seems to have a problem sending "large packets" (more than 1000 bytes).
Applies to: NetMAX Free BSD Bld475
            NetMAX Linux 2.0.37
address-suppressed
Setting the Ethernet's MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) to 1000 should fix this. As the user "root", run the command: "ifconfig lnc1 mtu 1000" from the UNIX command prompt. It's not necessary to reboot the system after doing this - test it by accessing a web page of a 1000 bytes or greater through a browser.

To make this a permanent change, add "/sbin/ifconfig lnc1 mtu 1000" to the boot script/etc/re.local after the comment line in the file "# put your local stuff here".

Note: lnc1 (el-en-cee-one)
