I missed that in the original email. Linux more so than Solaris, which isn't that great either, seems to go out of it's way to get the wrong setting when you hard set a switch port to full duplex. Don't know if that's a switch thing or a Linux thing. Setting auto negotiate works best these days though there is quite a bit of documentation that says the opposite from 4-6 years ago when that wasn't always the case. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
