Ah right. I did not know that!
Yeah, its a hub. I'll stop trying to set it to full duplex now. I still
have a problem though, the collision rate is 11-12% when copying to the
client and the performance is terrible:
Copying from Server to Client (i.e. receive) 170.3Kb/sec
Copying from Client to Server (i.e. transmit) 7.383Mb/sec
It is 40 times quicker in one direction than the other. Can you give me
a hint where to go from here.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I had already tried power
cycling my hub and it made no difference.
Hubs only support half-duplex which pretty much guarantees
collisions. Is it really a hub or are you just referring to yous
switch as a hub?
Assuming you have a switch I'd attempt to set full duplex without
turning autoneg off... that sometimes helps. You might also try
emerging the unstable ethtool3 as it supports more cards then the
default ethtool2 and has some bug fixes. Some cards work better with
mii-diag so you might try that as well.
