any client set to auto detect is only very slow if there is a
misconfiguration in the chain.
auto neg has worked flawlessly for years assuming both sides are
configured to auto.
The documented (IEEE 802.3??) behaviour if one side is auto and the
other side hardcoded is for the auto neg configured side to go to
100Mb/s Half Duplex. (lowest common denominator.)
Since the "hardcoded" side is usually set to FULL, you end up with a
duplex mismatch which kills performance.
If you've still got old Sun HME cards ardoun, there is some auto-meg
issues with those, in combination with some older Cisco versions, but
for the most part, Auto is where it's at.
Auto is actually a requirement for proper flow control in GigE.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Very slow client
did you check network settings on the NIC? Is it set to 100/Full
(or whatever your network standard is)? I find any Windows clients set
to auto detect run very slow.
