Why would you want to force it to half-duplex or 10Mbit if the other side of the link can to full-duplex and/or 100Mbit? That is the purpose of the autonegotiation -- to pick the best mode supported by both sides of the link. -D -- Q: What is the difference betwee open-source and commercial software? A: If you have a problem with commercial software you can call a phone number and they will tell you it might be solved in a future version. For open-source sofware there isn't a phone number to call, but you get the solution within a day.
