*********** Above NIC located on OpenBSD 3.0 current server
Then on the server side of things....
I edited hostname.dc0 and changed the entry to:
inet 192.168.0.27 255.255.255.0 NONE media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
<------------set to manual now
Then saved the changes and rebooted.
I did this instead of just changing on the fly for safety sake and a clean
test.

So...
682295296 bytes received in 126.71 seconds (5.14 MB/s) << this was both
nics set to auto
682295296 bytes received in 125.96 seconds (5.17 MB/s) << this was after
manual change of server nic ??????
After two years as a Adm on a broadband network I leaned not to trust any
vendor docs without testing first.
Sorry again, But I am glad Peter's initial issue was solved . Right or wrong
I see no diff here except manual was a fraction faster.
If I am wrong and I am quite frequently or I have miss understood this auto
issue sorry for the spam...
