You need to set the switch port and the NIC so they agree. Either both ends set to autoselect or both ends locked to 100/full or 100/half. The particularly bad case is when one end is set to auto/auto and the other end is set to 100/full. If you do this the auto/auto end will select 100/half. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
