Also=20 because it is autodetecting at 10baseT/UTP suggests that your DSL modem=20 only has 10baseT support built in to it, so you can't use anything higher. Same goes for your internetl interface re0. It it autodetecting 100baseTX= =20 full-duplex which suggests that you have a 10/100baseTX switch. You can't= =20 just make your NIC use gigabit if the other end doesn't support it. You won't gain any speed on the DSL side for sure. Generally speaking I find autodetect to work well most of the time. I have= =20 rarely had a problem.
