I had a bit of a look on google, do you have an old mother board?

You should check out the Ethernet Howto Chapter 8 [1], it gives a  
better explanation than I can, but it says your ethernet card has a  
small buffer that buffers data before sending it. If your PC's PCI  
bus gets busy and the buffer is not filled up within what I think is  
a certain time. Then driver with respond by changing this. So, its  
not necessarily an issue, just might be that your PC is doing a lot  
of work with another device on the PCI bus.

Hope that helps,
Brent.
