Frank,
You are not supposed to statically configure hubs and switches. I
don't know what the problem is - however, please be sure that the
hub/switch is set to auto-sense. If you cannot get a connection
established that way, please try the cable etc. I would also recommend
following the other suggestion of emerging the later tools.
What Joshua says. I missed that in the original email. Linux more so
than Solaris, which isn't that great either, seems to go out of it's way
to get the wrong setting when you hard set a switch port to full duplex.
Don't know if that's a switch thing or a Linux thing. Setting auto
negotiate works best these days though there is quite a bit of
documentation that says the opposite from 4-6 years ago when that wasn't
always the case.
