thank you for your reply,
i will try that setup when i get home, but for now the network seems
functioning on 100mbps though sometimes it disconnects unexpectedly however
it has been stable for 2 days,anyway i was trying to force that setting as
instructed from the ISP, though i never had to do that before, so i guess if
i'm still going to face problem with the 100 mbps i'll have to force it.
