Hmmm... no evidence of a config file in my .ssh directory.   Will dig a bit 
deeper later.   Thanks for the tip.

Also - do you need to force the NICs to full duplex? It might be an 
interesting experiment to leave them on auto-negotiation and see what 
happens. I've seen really weird problems caused by forced full duplex 
occasionally.

They were originally auto speed, auto plex (on the Windows side) and I 
forced them to 100 / full without effect.   Worth changing them back 
though.   Did not touch the Linux side - ethtool reports sane values anyway.

Cheers,
