It's rather a question of what the switch on the other end of the cable was configured to. Some switches don't like auto-sense. Some like it, some prefer it. Some only like "Auto-Sensing" to Gigabit etc.pp. It's a funny game. I just try to keep everything to "auto", because I feel switch and interface-cards should be able to do what their vendors advertise: autosensing. Rainer
