I see you are using em1 which implies another NIC...if you have traffic on the other lan its not much different than Also, realize that most pciX busses are shared. So your disk and other devices may be sharing. Its really derilect for these MB manufacturers to sell dual gig nic systems and them wire them to a slow bus. But its what they do.
