	We have an RC2030 running RISC/OS 4.10 here. Of late, I have 
been seeing strange messages on the console attached to the machine.
The gist of it is 

          Lance missed packet : stat 6B pkts 774293
The message comes on every 15 minutes or so. 
    Can someone tell me where the problem is likely to be -- in the
software, the ethernet connections or the chip itself ?  Also, is it
something harmless, or should I be getting worried ? 

Thanks in advance.
