Hello all, I have been noticing a problem in the /var/log/messages file on my SuSE8.0 system; the problem began a while back when I was running 7.3 and I had hoped that an upgrade may remove the problem. The message references the file 'vortex.txt' which I read, and judging from the error message and the info in the text file, I forced the full duplex setting on the NIC. However, after doing this transferring data to/from the system via the network was not possible - the link slowed to a trickle, so I removed the forced full duplex setting. Data transfers are fine now. But the error message is still appearing constantly on the system. Is there any other solution to this?? I have asked what our LAN hardware is and I am told that we are using 10/100 inteligent HUBs and the link to this particular system is 100Mb. Many Thanks Exerpt of /var/log/messages: Oct 10 08:41:12 percival kernel: eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82. Oct 10 08:41:12 percival kernel: Probably a duplex mismatch.
