:) Nope it is not a $15 noname NIC. It is a Compaq NC3131 FastEthernet NIC.
I don't know the exact price put I'm guessing 10-20 times that amount. The
link that was given to me by someone else in this group, showed that Cisco
says all Routers, Servers and production equipment should have this set
manually, and that the auto setting should be used for Migrant users.

In the past, everyone would blame the switch. If it was the switch then
every NIC or device would have this problem. I have found that it's usually
the NIC driver causing the issue. Is the NIC a reputable manufacture or is
it a $15 noname NIC? This might also be the issue. Check to see if you can
find a new driver. This will probably solve your problem. In the meantime
you should be fine with setting the port to Full/Half duplex.

Subject: Duplex setting
I've read in messages, and in books, about setting the duplex to full/half
vs. auto. I knew that it was flaky, but no specifics. We had a machine
losing connectivity, and it turns out this was the reason. I changed the
port from auto to full duplex, and everything seems to work great. Is there
any specific information as to what can cause this? For instance, maybe the
auto-detect detects it as half then changes to full, causing a brief outage
in connectivity?
Thanks,
Joey Fowler
