Most likely the cable test good at half duplex but not full duplex. Must be cat 5 or better with all 4 pairs wired correctly. Standard cable testers will not check the 100 full duplex. Check out your cable tester to see if it has that capacity. Christopher K.

I searched IBM and midrange-l archives for specific information but found none. Getting some errors on Ethernet and an occasional slowness and attempted to properly take advantage of 100MB/Full Duplex allowed on our 2838-001 Feature(9406 170 v5r1). Ethernet cable line tested ok, no interference, etc. Both the Cisco and the iSeries Ethernet card had been auto negotiating speed of 100M and duplex of half. Read a tech doc that auto is not all it is cracked up/trusted to be.
