That's been my experience as well. Could be the type of hardware yer using. I've had my best luck with Netgear products. As far as ISPs..as a former tech supporter for flashnet (remember them?), i highly suggest speaking to upper level techs..lower level supporters are the kind that support basic connectivity issues and that's about all. > Dan Nelson wrote: > > Input errors probably means that whatever you're plugged into does not > > support full-duplex (i.e. it's a hub), which is why autoselect selected > > half-duplex. > > You know, now that he brings this up, I tend to agree. > It's possible that the hub you're plugging into is saturated: that will > result in high collision rates and poor performance.

Ok I left this one in autoselect for now, and will contact my ISP tomorrow, and try and ask them to find solution for this high collision number problem...
