Cards on the client or the server , the server has an intel 100 and 1000 I have
disbaled the 100 and I am using the 1000 , the client has rtl8139 which was
working when 3.1.2 was loaded as well as the server , same configration. I will
try using the 100 as eth0 and see if it helps. 

Thanks for the help.
