Re: Duplex problem on ethernet line

[Tom Jedrzejewicz <tomjedrz@xxxxxxxxx>]

When both sides are Auto they have to "negotiate" settings, and that
does not always function properly.  My preference is to lock down the
settings at the switch port for servers and key equipment.  You an use
the negotiation process to get the best settings, then lock them in. 
One less thing to break!
