Hello
The problem I
have is the following:
when I connect
my dreambox with a crossover cable directly with the computer, the ping
goes very well, but when I plug it on the local network, it takes too
long to get an IP address and ping is very unstable ...
what is the
ethernet card in the dreambox is dead?
Unstable ping on Dreambox 500s

I don't think, that it is the ethernet-adapter of your Dreambox. As you said, you can use it without problem, when you use a crossover-cable.
Maybe the switch has a problem to arrange the correct connection (full-/halfduplex or/and 10/100mBit).
Try to connect your box to another switch (from another manufacturer) and test if the problem still exist.
