Check the status of the NIC before just setting it to FULL.Maybe it was FULL to begin with and you're just looking at a RedHerring. Check for CRC errors and link status on the client NIC, server NIC, andevery switch/router port in between. If some device is misconfigured, start a BIG ftp, and watch it......thenfix the network config, and then monitor that to see if it flips back. In most cases, a duplex problem will only show up if one of two ends ishard-coded.....hard coding NIC speed and duplex is old school...GetEVERYTHING....every single port in your environment set to auto-auto andyour problems will go away.We've slowly got everything here "fixed"...the only issue we have no isif someone ghosts a new system with an old image, or someone "fixes" alink on the fly, but there's an old rc script hanging around that hardcodes the connection again after a reboot. GigE does not do proper flow control if you hard code...most switchesand NICs will not allow you to set a Gig connection to "auto-duplex",unless you exploit a bug, like some Cisco IOSs you can't set Gig-FULL,but if you set 100-FULL and then change speed to Gig, the "FULL" hangsaround...bug....our network guys were exploiting that on purpose foryears... Sorry, that's my auto-neg rant for this month. Paul --
