3. Purchase an IOP card for gigabit Ethernet
4. Upgrade your LAN switch to gigabit throughput
I'm quite sure that the CPU in a model 170 will have a hard time
saturating a 100 Megabit link with static data, much less a Gigabit
link.
Furthermore:

The biggest 170 had two 250 Mhz CPUs! Compared to my laptop, which has
two 2.53 Ghz cores - and even it can't max out Gigabit Ethernet.
Those systems also max out at 1GB of memory (some before that).
They're also 32bit PCI machines, that can't even supply enough bus
bandwidth to saturate a Gigabit Ethernet link.
I don't want to beat down on you, but this was really bad advice.
There's a absolutely no sense in upgrading a Model 170 in any way
whatsoever.
