Don't forget that your hub/switch needs to support FDX for full duplex mode to work. Some cards can determine automatically if the hub/switch supports FDX/100, but some detect incorrectly and run at 10/HDX. I've even had cards run at 10/HDX on a port that was configured for FDX, which gave some interesting results. -miah On Tue, Aug 10, 2004 at 07:45:47AM -0400, Jerry Feldman wrote: > My old laptop did not have a built-in and I bought a PCMCIA card that > supported 10/100.
