Nope, just me not making myself very clear. :) Motorola modems seem to, occasionally, have an issue with a connection that can't autodetect on the other end. In the example I gave, if I let my PC autodetect, it comes up at 100BaseTX full duplex, and everything works great. If I force settings to 100BaseTX full duplex, and don't let the modem autonegotiate with the PC, it runs like a slug in molasses, traveling uphill. > It has solved the problem, pretty much.

Excellent, and no worries, glad you've got good speeds going on. :) George ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
