After re-reading Ethernet-HOWTO for the fiftieth time, I realized that 0 wasn't what I wanted 'cat /proc/interrupts' to read for eth0. According to Windows, eth0 wasn't having an IRQ conflict, but according to Linux, it was, so I set the NIC to an IRQ unused in both Linux and Windows to save future hassles and everything is cruising along fine now. Thank you to everyone who replied to my earlier cries for help! -- O .--.
