You currently have 100 Mbps half-duplex, if you want to change that to 10 Mbps half-duplex, and the ip address etc. is configured elsewhere, all you have to do is ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP That is no inet ... You can also add 'media 10baseT/UTP' to the ifconfig line in /etc/rc.conf /Jesper On Sun, Sep 10, 2000 at 02:23:36PM +0200, Peter Salvage wrote: > Hi Jasper > > Thanks!
