What I have done in the past is use the mii-tool. You will need to do a man mii-tool to see all the options. the mii-tool is "supposed" to detect your speed and duplex, but most of the time I have to do a "mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD" notice the -F forces the connection. First I would do a mii-tool -r to try to reset the autonegotiation. --chris > > Or is there a file in /etc that you can set the auto start parameters for > eth0 ? > > Any help is well appreciated.. right now the box periodically drops ssh > sessions due to packet loss.. > > > > > _____ > > Sincerely, > Jamil Hassan Spain > NC School of Science and Mathematics | External Programs > Phone: 919-416-2641 > Web: www.dlt.ncssm.edu <http://www.dlt.ncssm.edu/> > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > _____ > > > > -- > TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug > TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ > TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ > TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
