[Samba] network collapse

[Pol Hallen]

Hi Louis and thanks for your reply. I connected a client directly to
server and I've same problem (no switches problem).

Why this problem happens only with samba? With other services (ftp, rsync,
apache, etc.) I don't have this problem :-/ so, are you sure the problem
should be an errata configuration of NICs?

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off
Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument
  not setting autoneg
