RE: Duplex problem on ethernet line

["Bill Hogue" <bhogue@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree.  The problem is that when both sides were set to 100/full the
connection stopped working.  Once I changed the iSeries to auto, the
iSeries shows 100/HALF while the switchport is set to 100/FULL and its
working.

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!
