It speeded up for the 10baseT setting. I ran through the rest of the
settings and now it seems hosed. I think I have thouroughly confused my
switch now. Obviously it goes without saying that I want it to work at
100 not 10 but now it is really not working at all, like 30 minutes to
copy a 5 Mb file in either direction!
Not good :(
Reset your switch. Try 100baseTX half-duplex. If autonegiotion is
broken, and the switch is not manageable (to turn off autoneg), this may
be the best you can do.
Also, this may be obvious, but have you tried different cables?
Yes, I've tried different cables and different ports on the switch. This
hardware has all been used before together. I cycled the power to the
switch (can't find a reset button) and no change. Via samba or SCP it
takes 7 minutes to write a file to the server and 12 seconds to read the
same file.
thanks
