I think that it only be intuitive deduction that this would be the case. I think the original poster was trying to point out that the real world difference b/t 10meg half duplex switched and 10 meg full duplex switched was not as great as one might think and in a great number of cases a really trivial difference. Since most 'switches' will support half and full, and any of the good cards should support 10/100 half and full, turning on 'full-duplex' can at worst case, only give you warm fuzzies. -- | Matthew N.
