Let's start with the basics, some of which I haven't seen mentioned yet. This way we can figure out which options can be used... What network card is the NIC? 3Com model ??? Without that we can't say WHICH of several modules is to be queried. Try in shell: mii-diag and mii-tool Might shed a little more light on the problem. This is the output from one of my servers: hp:~ # mii-diag Using the default interface 'eth0'. Basic registers of MII PHY #24: 3100 786d 2000 5c01 01e1 0021 0000 0000. Basic mode control register 0x3100: Auto-negotiation enabled. You have link beat, and everything is working OK. Your link partner is generating 10baseT link beat (no autonegotiation). End of basic transceiver information. You have new mail in /var/mail/root hp:~ # mii-tool eth0: no autonegotiation, 10baseT-HD, link ok The 10baseT is obvious as to its meaning. The HD is half duplex. FD is full duplex, which is not a common use... I'm rather wondering if the card might be in full duplex mode with the switch/hub being half duplex... Or possibly a bad cable termination? Had a few flakey connectors drive me up the wall in my day. -----Original Message----- From: pseep@mail.gr [mailto:pseep@mail.gr] Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2003 6:35 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Network problems Help!!!!

If i should change the hardware details within the network card tab then which new settings should i set, where can find them?
Try "modinfo <module name>". This should tell you the options for each module.
What is te module name then? Is it written in the hardware tab of network card settings (in Yast)? ------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.mail.gr/ - Get Your Private Free Email Address! http://www.ringtone.gr/ - Ringtones & Logos for your mobile! -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
