The Ethernet connection in this old pc is killing me to the point I cannot even update the system... :(
Here's the output of ifconfig:
[code]$ ifconfig

I attached the system report created with Linux Lite's script.
I had a similar problem in this machine while using Windows XP, I do not remember what I did but it had something to do with changing something like duplex and changing 100MB/s to 10MB/s or something alike.
What can I do to improve the Ethernet connection?

I'd try a brand new ethernet cable 1st. Another time. One of my ethernet ports went bad on my wireless router. I had to change it out .
I fixed some of the slow part by calling my ISP provider.

@rokytnji thank you very much for helping me.
And yes, your advice of checking the basics first apparently fixed my issue, I changed the cable and the Ethernet port on the router and the speed is now very acceptable!
Thank you very much once again. I'm marking this one as solved.

Cool Beans. I*t is usually something simple when it comes to ethernet problems using Linux. The kernel usually has Ethernet hardware covered real well.
