linux friendly ethernet card

[Stephen Adler]

Guys,

The ethernet controller I have is the following

   Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573V Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper) (rev 03)

There is a guy in my office who has a *HP Pavilion zd8000* Laptop
<http://www.roblytle.org/hp_pavilion_zd8000_laptop.htm> running Windows
XP who
cannot print over samba to the USB printer I have hooked up to my PC.
For some reason,
when he prints a file, my network card freezes up, and then it resets
itself. All the other
systems on my network seem to work OK with my system. I'm thinking of
replacing my
Ethernet card to see if I can fix this problem. Does anyone have any
suggestions on a different
ethernet  controller card I can try.

Steve.

Install linux on his computer? :) ... I am guessing that is not the  
answer you want...

Get just about any old ethernet card, preferably a 3Com, make it an  
additional NIC with a separate IP address, and let this person connect  
through it.  That way everyone else gets the use of your gigabit  
adapter.
