This is somewhat of a falsehood. Sure, you can eliminate problems this way, but I find most problems are NOT caused by autonegotiation, they are caused by improperly configured switches. When both ends are configured for BOTH speed and duplex of auto, things generally work correctly nowadays. If one end is not set that way, the standard says to try the highest speed and then drop progressively lower, ALL at half duplex. This can cause a lot of problems. Let's say you have your machine configured to 100/Full. Your switch, set to auto, WILL drop to 100/Half and you'll get a lot of errors. I'd say this is how 90% of these problems occur. With Sun machines, I know, you can force a certain speed by taking away the card's ability to advertise a higher speed, while still leaving autonegotiate on. Not sure how this works with other platforms. - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHdX6Dmb+gadEcsb4RAjMHAJ9fFV3VWyOGl7/8+zzqqhawCc5ERgCfTaxz MPkeq8U0mj/8oijIvi5ViD0= =Z9M+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
