Hey guys! I noticed recently that my linksys router isn't showing the connection between my computer and the router as being functional in full duplex mode. This occurred after last friday when my Dad was having a new heater and air conditioning unit put in, the guys doing the installation accidentally turned off the power to the outlet my computer was hooked to. Since I wasn't home at the time, and my dad didn't realize this was going to happen (even if he did, I don't know that he would have been able to shut my computer down), my computer was turned off without shutting down correctly. The problem with the full duplex mode showed up after this occurred.
I'm hoping it's just a setting was frelled, and that this can be fixed without replacing the network card in my computer, but my wandering through preferences hasn't lead me to find anything that might control the duplex mode. If anyone can point me towards where I might be able to fix this (or at least confirm that it is indeed my hardware that's the problem), I would most appreciate it. And in case anyone asks, I have reconnected the network cable on both ends, and I have plugged into various ports on the router to make sure it wasn't just the little light on the router that died.
