Hello,

I've got around 70 machines with Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B adapters in
them and 9 Dlink DES3216 (10/100BaseTX switches, 16 ports). The switches
are set as Auto out of the box and that seems to work...for awhile...

It seems at various intervals the LAN side of my router which is also an
Inter EtherExpress get input errors. I did a test and was able to have this
happen again by setting the main switch to 100BaseTX and full-duplex, this
caused the LAN side of that ethernet adapter to get errors...untill I
rebooted.

So what does everybody else do? I forgot to add there are around 4-5
machines that have 10-baseT ethernet adapters and the Auto never affects them.

What would you do? Set everything on auto, set it half-duplex 100BaseTX or
full-duplex 100BaseTX...and why?

Thank you,
Randy Katz
