Apology accepted, and I apologize for my snide response. Looking back at my emails I see I was a bit more vague than I intended to be.
I have tried other ports on the switch.
While it would be nice to get this machine running at 100BaseT with this switch, it isn't absolutely necessary. This was an inexpensive switch, we'll probably be looking to upgrade to gigabit in the near future, so I can just deal with it being slow until we upgrade our network. I'm still puzzled as to why I can't get the NIC to agree with this switch, but if it isn't possible I can accept that.
Thanks for your help. -Ken
Even with one of my $8k manage switches I have had this problem in the past with Intel Pro cards. Not sure why either. Noone can seem to give me a straight forward answer. If you want a cheap 8port GiGe switch look at the Netgear GS608. Should be priced around $65. I have several in my office and have many Intel Pro 1000 cards plugged in with no problems. Or if you want something better look at the Netgear GS716T or GS724T. They have very fast backplanes and the ports can be configured, trunked, etc. And they are very priced from $260 for 16 port and $320 for 24 port. Brad Dameron SeaTab Software www.seatab.com
