If they only work at 10Mb, then the SB will happily use them.
The SB will use the highest rate it can negotiate.

Hmn... Seems that negotiation happens based on what the endpoints want,
not what the wire can handle. So if one wants 100M and the other 10M,
then the 100M node will negotiate down to 10M. If both endpoints want
100M but the line can only handle 10M, then the endpoints have a very
hard time
Well, I found firmware for my router that lets me set port speed...

Here's another reason why being able to switch a SB3 to 10Mbit would be
really nice:
What if I'm using a couple of these http://www.etslan.com/Ethernet.htm
and the RG6 run to my living room? These baluns confuse the negotiation
process, and they definitely only work at 10M.
I'd very much like to

Getting a new cable or switch would likely be your best bet. Ethernet
at 100Mbs is rated at hundreds of meters. Unless you have a _really_
big house, you have a bad cable or switch. Try the cable first, it's
cheap.

Only a single 100 meters, if I recall correctly. Or approximately 300
feet. I looked into it once for my factory. That goes all the way from
the front office to the back of my factory just fine.
It's actually 100 meters between

Not sure about the Squeezebox's ability there (never seen such a

but if you're loking for anything but rewiring, perhaps a switch that
allows you to set the connection speed is an option? (or an older
switch/hub in the path).

Before you pull zillions of feet of cable thru walls,
I'd run it up the stairs and thru the halls and just

That, or it's damaged or badly installed - kinked, crimped, stapled

fixtures.
None of which answers the original question - Can the

Hi,
I have a long Ethernet cable going to my living room. If I connect with

alexir, you can set the limit on your laptop's NIC to 10mbit and let the
sb2 autonegotiate. It will find that your laptop advertises 10mbit, and
use that setting.

All ethernet wiring (well at least 99.99%) has four pairs of

So if only one or two wires are bad, you can just reterminate it

Ok, thanks.
So, I guess it's impossible to set the sb2 to 10mbps...

Some anecdotal experience on the 100m rule:
I recently ran a 90m cat6 line. Needed to get from suite 900 in our
building to suite 400. However the conduit all goes to suite 100
(they're all in a row), so it had to go there and back again for a
total of about 90m.
I had hoped that the link would
