A fixed duplex setting perhaps ? The hub will be half of course... could it be that the switch is forced full on the port in question ? Just a guess.

Just wondering if anyone has ideas here... I bought a cheapo 10/100 switch for home to replace my old 10MB hub. The switch connects two desktop machines (one Win98, one Debian) and one firewall/router/etc. (debian). All have 10/100 cards in them (IBM eepros in the debian machines, HP something or other in the Win98) and the network works fine on the 10MB hub. I switched over to the 10/100 switch and communication with the Win98 machine died. The link LED came on, and I rebooted the Win98 machine (since that's how you usually fix those :)), and still nothing. Moving the plugs back to the hub fixed everything. Am I looking at a DOA switch, or could something else be going on? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html
