Sorry for the delay, had to deal with another network problem.

I performed the tests you suggested and here are the results:

I used a crossover cable to link my laptop and my server.
The server is equipped with a <RealTek 8169S Single-chip Gigabit Ethernet>
configured as autoselect.

I tried to force the media both 10 and 100 on both card and the only
case i had the Broadcom card active was when I set the server NIC to
100. But in that case, the RealTek NIC was not active.
Maybe I have to change the NIC on the server :(

The other tests I did besides the previous one was to boot in Safe mode
and to unload usb.

Now, I don't know what to do.

Thanks for the fix anyway ;)

Phil.
