Ok, the ISP said 10mbps full duplex. I grabbed mii-diag and vortex-diag and ran them. Forcing it there does not resolve the errors. Neither did setting it to half-duplex. Setting to 100mbps just made things worse. :-( SO, I guess I'll have to live with the error messages ... -- _________________________________________ Nachman Yaakov Ziskind, EA, LLM [EMAIL PROTECTED] Attorney and Counselor-at-Law http://yankel.com Economic Group Pension Services http://egps.com Actuaries and Employee Benefit Consultants ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
