Well my problem was solved today. I found out when our NOC was redone the new switches (HP Pro curves) were set to 100 mb Full Duplex since the switch they replaced was a 3Com that was 10/100 with only 2 1000mb ports and a fiber connection, so my server was set to 100mb and auto negotiation under the old configuration. SO me trying to bump up my NIC speed wasn't working as the switch wouldn't bump up and the auto negotiation wasn't working. So I did some more googling and found this link
http://serverfault.com/questions/396782/debian-set-eth0-autoneg-off-speed-1000-duplex-full-invalid-argument Now this didn't resolve the issue but I started to look at my output and what I was doing with a different perspective with my new found knowledge. I tried the normal stuff and got the same old Invalid Argument so I decided to do this sudo /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off and when I looked at the info I saw that magically the duplexing went from half to full. I did a test transfer to my desktop of a 1.6gb file and it transferred at the rate of 7,560.6 KB/s It took 3.32 minuts I then tried it to my other server where I initially wanted the file to go to and it transferred at the rate of 10.3 MB/s for a time of 2.29 minutes I know this still isn't 100mb but it is a vast improvement. It all probably hinged on the fact I was tied to trying to get 1000mb speeds and the switch port was set to 100mb. My next move is to get them to 1000mb but that is for another day. Thanks for all of the help. On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 3:40 PM, john boris <jbori...@gmail.com> wrote: > John, > Not yet.
