I send this note every once in awhile, since I know around my workplace
there is a lot of confusion over it.

Both ends of a network connection must be either hard-coded to the same
speed and duplex, or set to auto/auto. Any other combination will result
in the end that is set to auto stairstepping down from fastest to
slowest until it finds a comparable rate, and WILL use half duplex. So I
suppose to adjust my comments a little, if you are using 100/half on one
end and auto/auto on the other, that will work, but I'd say it's not a
great habit to get into (and who uses half duplex on anything other than
10-base-T anyway?).
