Well, you could at least have told us which OS you run, and which
version........

Anyway, the problem is probably that there are packets coming in
that are longer than one receive buffer (and, thus, get chained into
the next buffer) and your software can't handle this. Depending on
your OS, you might be able to extend the size of the recieve buffers.

Another (hacky) solution is to set the 'mtu' of all systems on
the net to a value lower than your uVax-II buffer size.
