Hi, I *always* lock the duplex setting both on the switch and the host/router, my experience is that auto-sensing simply do not work ... Here everything that is capable of 100M full-duplex is locked at this setting, and the matching switch port is also locked at 100M full-duplex ... It's a bit of work initially, but it's far more stable ... /Jesper On Sun, Nov 15, 1998 at 06:53:37PM -0800, Randy A.
