And is it running full duplex? 3.7M is, IIRC, about what I'd expect from 10M half-duplex. NIC cards of that era were prone to getting auto-negotiation badly wrong. Even an old 486 should be able to deal with 100M traffic easily. Even so, I'd still not trust your cable provider's advice. There is still a good chance the problem really is with the cable connection. > > -- > Joseph > > On 09/10/13 23:10, Alan McKinnon wrote: >> On 10/09/2013 19:47, Joseph wrote: >>> Does anybody know how to spoof mac address on Gentoo? >>> >>> I want to connect a machine directly to the modem but if I do so my >>> static IP will change; so to retain static IP I want to spoof mac >>> address on one of my machine to the same MAC as on my router. >>> >> >> >> If you have a host and a router with the same MAC address, how do you >> suppose ethernet will continue to work? >> >> Instead, rather do it right - your modem has a dhcp server.
