If the connection has a tray icon, double-clicking that should bring up an info dialog that has the link speed somewhere. Otherwise you'll have to click you way through control panel->network->blah, I don't know exactly...Windoze config is a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. Another thing: check the Linux side with ifconfig, it gives some statistics on errors, dropped packets and overruns next to RX and TX packet counts. Those should be zero, or at most pretty small numbers. If they are not, your cables and/or switch are flaky. HTH Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.
