Hello, Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why my network is running at 1/10 the speed it should be. The network cards on my firewall, which is running MNF, are all running at 10mb/s. At least two should be running at 100. I can see they are running slow by running this, for instance:
# mii-tool eth0 eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link whereas, it should be like this, right - # mii-tool eth0 eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok (which is what I do get on my other PCs). There is nothing special in the modules.conf, as far as I can tell - alias tap0 ethertap options tap0 -o tap0 unit=0 alias eth0 8139too alias eth1 8139too alias eth2 dmfe I'm a bit confused because the system messages show this, which indicates the cards should be running at 100mb/s: Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.24 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:03.0 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xc6849000, 00:05:1c:98:3c:77, IRQ 11 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:06.0 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xc684b000, 00:00:21:04:60:8c, IRQ 5 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17) Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:04.0 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: eth2: Davicom DM9102 at pci00:04.0, 00:08:a1:2c:17:57, irq 9.

Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: eth1: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 45e1. The hardware on the firewall is this - 00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc.

Running this command: # mii-tool eth0 -F 100baseTx-FD has no effect. Any clues as to what I should do next? Thanks! Damon
