You cant set th no speed nonegotiate on these gbic's. Maybe this is Anyhow, due to misconfiguration on the router, ie: wrong IP, I now have connection to the net. They wrote 207 instead of 217 when they configured it. But I also see this problem with other switches. like dumb switches where you cant set the speed. Next week I'll will bring the server for a test drive and see how they are working under load. /Bjorn On Fri, 8 Apr 2005, Michael K.
