i will try that setup when i get home, but for now the network seems functioning on 100mbps though sometimes it disconnects unexpectedly however it has been stable for 2 days,anyway i was trying to force that setting as instructed from the ISP, though i never had to do that before, so i guess if i'm still going to face problem with the 100 mbps i'll have to force it.

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.
