4) Auto-negotiation is not working as it should and/or reporting the correct value. You may want to ensure that the NIC is indeed using Half Duplex by issuing the command:
ethtool -s eth0 duplex half
Nick summarily ignored any ethtool commands. Hub replaced with 10/100 switch. Then nic would auto-negotiate 100Full. However, after some time it would drop to 10/half. So I invoked Andersen's rule of naughty nics and it went plonk. Slapped an intel nic in, and it negotiates 100/full and stays there. 3com. sigh..... But thanks for the suggestions. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
