I would of thought the same however the files would not arrive corrupt, only
download slowly, as the CRC checks in TCP would reject the packet; unless
Win2k is REALLY borked :) However I could be wrong.....

I am unsure whether you can do it, but can you do the equilivent of
'ifconfig' and get the output that mentions any ethernet frame errors or not?
I do not think 'ipconfig /all' can tell you this.
