Since I updated my Qube with the latest patches (SUN and Solarspeed) I 
also had Problems accessing the Internet, but only in one
direction, downloads are fine but uploads are crap. checked it using a 
online test tool from my dsl provider.

also checking the state of my Qube using phpSysInfo-2.1 i found that I 
had a lot of errors on eth0

I agree that I also installed OSX 10.2.8 on my G4/400, therefore I 
didn't know who to blame.

I downgraded my Ethernet Kernel Extension with this tool 
'AppleGMACEthernet Patcher 1.0.1'
you can get it at http://www.fixamac.net/software/agmacep/

but this didn't fix my problem :-(

so I decided to reboot my Qube and now everything works fine :-)
