It's easy to confirm this, hit the push button on the front of the Catalyst to display the settings and find out if it negotiated 100/full or whether it's running at a lower setting. > You'll need to > force both ends to 100/full (or whatever) in order to set the > correct mode. > Something like "ifconfig fxp0 media 100basetx mediaopt full-duplex" Is that a problem with the Intel cards? I've not noticed any autonegotiation problems with my Catalyst 2916XL. Is it a problem specific to the Etherexpress Pro, I've only got Digital 10/100s on the switch at the moment. Next time I've got an Etherexpress Pro around I'll see if it autonegotiates properly, never thought to check before, I don't usually have them around here very long. Paul.
