Isolate the problem by connecting those 2 with a cross-over cable and then maesure the actual bandwidth using any tool you wish. > > > Not yet but I am pretty sure that it only gives me 100Mbps speed > because the LEDs of the switch and NIC only blinks on the 100Mbps.

And, are there any other (10/100 baseT) nodes which are connected to that switch? > > Thanks. > > --- MARVIN T.
