I am having problems with a slow ethernet on a local LAN. I had some could suggestions from people in this list, and I would like to thank everyone. The problemis still there. One suggestion was to make sure that both of the NICs connected to the hub are in half-duplex. The LAN is a 100base-T connection. One of the cards is a 3com vortex (3c905). I run a diagnostic on it and I know is running full-duplex. How can I force it to half-duplex? In the options listed on http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html I do not see one specifically for half-duplex. Here is the output from the diagnostics (if you see anything else strange please let me know): ./vortex-diag -a -e -m vortex-diag.c:v1.07 11/24/98 Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Found a 3Com PCI Ethernet 3c905 rev 0 at 0xff00. Indication enable is 06c6, interrupt enable is 069e. No interrupt sources are pending. Transceiver/media interfaces available: MII. MAC settings: full-duplex. Maximum packet size is 0. Station address set to 00:10:4b:9a:ec:4a. Configuration options 4000. Parsing the EEPROM of a 3Com Vortex/Boomerang: 3Com Node Address 00:10:00:10:00:10 (used as a unique ID only).
