I have several LM8.1 machines hooked up to Netgear Switches without trouble.
Two are using KNE110 cars, another two are using 3com boards, two are using Netgear cards. All work fine in full duplex. -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Woody Green |Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 2:03 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: [expert] 100Mbit networking failure. | | |I have two different types of cards (realtek using the 8139too |driver and an intel using the eepro100 driver) that only work |when attached to 10Mbit hubs.
