Re: pppOe 1000baseTX config
You won't gain anything beyond 10baseT/UTP with your DSL line. Also because it is autodetecting at 10baseT/UTP suggests that your DSL modem only has 10baseT support built in to it, so you can't use anything higher. Same goes for your internetl interface re0. It it autodetecting 100baseTX full-duplex which suggests that you have a 10/100baseTX switch. You can't just make your NIC use gigabit if the other end doesn't support it. You won't gain any speed on the DSL side for sure. Generally speaking I find autodetect to work well most of the time. I have rarely had a problem.

Re: pppOe 1000baseTX config
Well, yeah, that would be what to do, but why do you need to? I have a 100baseTX network at home and don't need any more. ~11.5MBytes/sec works just fine. It won't speed up your DSL if you upgrade any of the equipment. Your DSL line is probably 4 Mbits/sec. So if that's all you're looking for, don't bother changing anything.

RE: pppOe 1000baseTX config
I've recently switched from a Netgear router to use pppOe for my public internet ip on FreeBSD 5.4. My machine has two nics: bge0 and re0, both of which support 1000baseTX configurations, however neither of the two seem to be able to connect when I configure them in /etc/rc.conf. Here's what works: correct me if this is a wrong assumption, this is a dsl line?? what do you expect to gain here? forcing 1000baseTX on the NIC won't speed up the dsl line. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
