Debating opinions is occasionally useful, but facts are facts and flamage won't change them. Please let Cisco have the last word on this topic: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/46.html Per the IEEE 802.3u specification, it not possible to manually configure one link partner for 100 Mbps full-duplex and still autonegotiate to full-duplex with the other link partner. Attempting to configure one link partner for 100 Mbps full-duplex and the other link partner for auto-negotiation will result in a duplex mismatch. This is a result of one link partner auto-negotiating and not seeing any auto-negotiation parameters from the other link partner and defaulting to half-duplex. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
