Thank you, this is the information I was looking for. &nbsp;Either the options to force the card to 100MB duplex will work or it won't. &nbsp;If it does not, I won't, I'll get another card. Thanks also for the quick response.<br />

I have an intel mother board with a Pro100 network card built into the motherboard. &nbsp;(The machine is colocated - I will re-ask this question when I have all the version numbers, but just in case someone has the answer, I ask now)<br />
<br />
When I plug into the switch, I get no lights on the nic, when I plug directly into the cabinet's plug, avoiding the switch, all is fine. &nbsp;Another system running W2K Professional has no problems with either connection.<br />
<br />
I am running RedHat Linux 6.1<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Autosense nic fails on 3COM Smart Switch

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
