About those -50 errors.
I now know why they happend so totally irregular here on RH7.1,
they also do in Slackware here.

As I monitor the 'ifconfig -a'....
suddenly I get an RX error, then 10 seconds later the transfer stops and
the mac says -50 error.
This -50 error is not due to a permission problem even tho -50 is supposed
to mean that.
I have tried chmod -R 777 /home etc. etc.

At home I have a simple hub so I hope this is the problem. It also occurs
when I connect the mac<->linux with a crossedwire cable, just not as often.
I have
tried changing the NIC in the linux box to a 3com 905b from realtec 8139
based one, still RX errors (even more often).
I hope this will be solved when I use a switch, if not its got to be the
mac having problems sending packets.

Could someone with hub OR crosswired cable confirm or deny this?

All the best /Mikko
