So, where is your NIC connected to? DSL? Switch? Cross-connect cable to another NIC? You have to determine, whether you need full-duplex or half-duplex. Half-duplex being the safe bet. > Sorry, but I am a new FreeBSD user. > Can you tell only the commands/files needed to change this ? > Then I will seek the right options in man. man ifconfig man rl You do this with "ifconfig". To make it permanent add a line in /etc/rc.conf . I have there: ifconfig_rl0="inet <MY_IP> netmask <MY_NETMASK> media 10baseT/UTP" This will force half-duplex. For full-duplex you have to add the "mediaopt full-duplex" term. Note that the man page is somewhat unclear there, at least last time I checked it.
