Actually what you want is: ifconfig fxp0 media 100basetx mediaopt full-duplex Also be sure that the switch is configured the same and keep in mind that whenever you specify something other than auto for either the speed or the duplex that autonegotiation is completely disabled, so both sides must be set the same for it to work. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
