Turned out to be an old NIC. I replaced the card, checked the port connections and the Cat5 to the router was plugged into an uplink port instead of an ordinary port. The router downgrades this uplink port to 10MBit. The switch copes with the auto-uplink setting and I now get 100MBit across the entire LAN (with the sole exception of an old ISA NIC that I can't get to 100MBit.) > I remember when autonegotiate was less reliable that plug and pray ;) > > Simon > > *So that is on laptop, on switch ports, on router.... but make sure the > same value is supported by all the relevant hardware. Problem is that not all the hardware seemed to have the configuration tools to force a new setting, the router in particular only implements a limited configuration panel. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
