I checked ifconfig, and the media is autoselected. I checked the man page for fxp and lists "full-duplex" as it's only media option. The machines are connected to a 10/100 auto-switching hub. Should I manually set the card to 100BaseTX and try half-duplex anyway? -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: David Greenman [SMTP:dg@root.com] > Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 1999 2:46 PM > To: Christopher J.
