I had two offers of loaners. One had been used with GSInet, so I've borrowed
that one and it appears to work.
Thanks,

Perhaps I'm confused, but the "internet connection" that I get as part
of my DSL is a phone-line size wire, not something that I can talk over.
Since he mentioned that he needs a DSL *modem*/router, I'm assuming that
the modem part is important here: without that, you don't have an

Travis,
Why not just hook your computer directly to your internet connection and
bypass the broadband router for a few weeks.
My router is a combo DSL-modem/router unit, I don't have a seperate DSL modem.
But good thought. I think I hear some screams of horror as I type this. :-)

I have a spare DSL modem I used with Verizon ADSL in Worcester - it's a
Westell Speedstream something. You're welcome to try it anyway - I haven't
used it for years since I told Verizon to leave me alone forever.
Call me at 509-410-4776 if you're interested and we can arrange something.

Once upon a time autonegotiation wasn't standardized. Then it was.
But we still have non-standard gear in service here and there so it
still bites people once in a while and it gets a bad rap. 3COM gear has

While I've never read the RFC, to the best of my knowledge, there's no
problem with the specs, themselves. Once
The rapid flashing of the port the 100Mbit link is connected to is
quite possibly the port (in 10 Mbit mode) interpreting 100 Mbit link
pulses as data, which is not an uncommon occurrence. Use the excuse
to get yourself a WRT54G. ;-) (Yes, it runs Linux.)

Thanks for all the responses. It seems like the router is having a 100Mbs
problem, since a few of you have also experienced that kind of problem.
Although I do have some suggestions to follow up on just to make sure.
I guess I'll just move my 10Mbs hub directly in front of the router and put

Dan,
Thanks for your repsonse.
In one case it was a bad patch cable. The cable worked at 10Mbps but not
100Mbps. I didn't try to determine why. Just replaced it.
I've tried three different cables directly connecting computer #2 and the
router. No difference.
In some cheap 10/100 switches, the en
Ken,
One thing to contemplate -- though if it had been working
before, it's not terribly likely to be the problem -- is the fact that
autonegotiation is an imperfect science.
This router has been working for a year and half with computer #1 (10Mbs) and
#2 (100Mbs) connected to it. The 100Mbs sw
Brian,
Thanks for your response.
Every 10/100 device I've seen in the last 10 years has used 1 chip to handle
the 10/100 PHY. This means that it would be (IMO) HIGHLY unlikely that only
the 100Mbs portion could/would fail, I would expect all or nothing.
One thing I did notice is that when a 100Mbs
Travis,
Thanks for your response.
It could be a duplex mismatch but I doubt it.
I have had this happen to myself personally, where the 100mb part didn't
work and the 10mb part did.
Okay, so it is a possibility.
I assume by router you mean broadband router, not a "real" router.
Yes, it is an Action
If the crystal on the router that feeds the 10/100 PHYs drifts out of
spec, 100 would stop working, 10 would probably be more forgiving. Is
this likely? No, but it is possible. Just my $0.01999

I'm having a network problem that appears to be that the 10/100Mbs
ports on my router are no longer working at 100Mbs, but are
working at 10Mbs. Is it possible that just the 100Mbs part could
fail?
I've seen this problem a few times.

Hey, Larry! One thing to contemplate -- though if it had been working
