I was just reading Windows 2000 magazine today (hey no flames here) and an interesting thing came up. A reader asked one of the editors why his network performance was so bad on this one machine. Not going into allot of detail here is a quote from the editor's answer: "A second possibility is that the network adapter is defaulting to full-duplex mode instead of half-duplex mode. Often, enabling full-duplex mode on adapters-even when the network configuration (i.e., switches or NICs) supports it-actually reduces performance." Now maybe I don't know something here, but does this sound like a good answer to you? Full-duplex should provide more bandwidth if configured properly. Wouldn't it be more proactive to try and fix whatever the problem is (if it is the problem) with full-duplex, than switch to half-duplex? What do you think???
