Be aware that if you force Ethernet link settings (speed, duplex, flow control), that has a tendency to inhibit auto-negotiation. So if you're going to be forcing things, make sure you force the setting *on both ends*. Otherwise, instead of making things better, it can make things a good deal worse. (The specifics depend on which parameter, standards document, equipment, phase of the moon, etc.) > a way to tell what duplex it is before I try to force it to full? When it comes to Cisco, I fall into the category of "knows just enough to be dangerous", but: I think "show port" or "show interface" will get you there. Type a question mark (?) before you hit enter and it will give you help. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
