Jade, I posted the original question because it I thought it "could" make a difference....but I didn't know if it actually did make a difference. I thought it could make a difference because 1.) software (even aplication-level software) could control the configuration of the NIC driver, and therefore the functioning of the NIC; and, 2.) Tiny Personal firewall actually installs in three pieces: a.) an administration utility (user interface) and b.) an engine, that both reside in the application layer; and ...of particular interest... c.) a Tiny Personal Firewall driver that resides just above the physical harware (NIC) drivers. I really wondered if the TPF driver might lack the capacity to manage traffic from both directions simultaneously, and that this would necessitate restricting traffic to one direction at a time; thus necessitating the setting of the NIC driver to half- duplex-only operation. But, the bottom line is, as was consistently said by the kind folks who replied to my inquiry, that Tiny Personal Firewall does support 100Mbps full-duplex traffic. After receiving those responses, I installed TPF on another machine, which appears to be quite happily running at 100 Mbps full-duplex. Thanks for everybody's help, Ken
