Hi all,
thanks for ur prompt reply. I ve follow as instructed, when key "
ifconfig -a", following result
xl0:flags=8843<UP,BOARDCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
media:100baseTX<full-duplex>(100baseTX<half-duplex>)
May I know if this shows that system is running 100BaseT fullduplex?
May I know what is the field "simplex" under flags mean? Is my system
running only simplex?
thanks
Best Regards
Max
