Greetings!

Are you on a hub / public network / corporate network? Are you seeing a lot of traffic on your devices not related to you or the empeg?

If you are on a dedicated machine / crossover cable / no other traffic, are you certain of your settings? Netmask specifically. Also, check your LAN card settings. The empeg is only 10Mbps - you may want to see if your LAN card is configured to automatically select speed / duplex / etc.

Lastly, are you running any firewalls / virus checkers / network scanning utilities that might be getting in the way?
