Just as a note, Full duplex is actually not exactly part of the standards because it removes support for network collision detection/reporting, etc. (At least this is what I heard). Just thought I'd pass it along.

They haven't' a consistent way to do it from the command line, much less a GUI. One thing I read said you should not have full duplex turned on when the NIC is connected to a switch. What are you setting the duplex, full or half? Have you noticed any performance benefist/problems either way? -- Jeff Kinz, Open-PC, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. [EMAIL PROTECTED] copyright 2003.
