Make sure your network card matches the settings of your hub/switch. If you have a hub then you'll want to toggle it to half-duplex, if you have a switch, most likely full duplex. Since you didn't mention which ethernet card you're using (THE MOST IMPORTANT PART) then I really can't offer much guidance on tweaking your particular card besideds consulting its manpage as well as 'man ifconfig'. best of luck, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
