Try swapping in a new NIC. I remember running into some 3c905 NICs
that would slowly and gradually fail by silently dropping frames. The
NIC continues to slowly degrade until eventually no frames will pass
anymore. As this progresses, the NIC still gives a link light, and you
will thus think that everything's OK. Took me a couple of days to
figure it out....<br>

It's in a small lan of 10 clients. I used DLink switch (I don't think
it's a managed one). I don't fully understand about spanning tree.
Anyway, thanks Barry.
