Ghaith,

  I think that you shouldn't do this this way, but so be it.  It's
generally spekaing to 'force' a specific setting.  In most cards and
switches this disables all negotiation, and can lead to all sorts of
strange problems.  Especially regard duplex issues.

Wow, a little latency when typing goes a long way.  Please let me clarify that.

Generally speaking it's a bad thing to force a specific setting on
hubs, switches, and NICs.  In most cases this can lead to all sorts of
strange problems.  Especially regard duplex issues.
