There's likely something wrong hardware wise. Either with that nic, the cabl= e, or the port you are plugging it into. The NIC is (correctly) not autoneg= otiating 1000TX full duplex for some reason, and when you try to force it it= doesn't work.=20 Thanks, Josh Paetzel On Feb 7, 2013, at 3:53 PM, "Ronald F.
