Stop Press,
More reports coming in that the success or otherwise of auto negotiation
is dependant on the comms gear. Serguei Patchkovsk has the same 3Com
3300's as me and reports that they auto negotiate up to 100M but not to
full duplex. I can see that this could turn into a bit of saga. I would
like to use auto so that if my switch fails I can drop in any old
bit of kit to keep the dreaded NFS errors at bay until the cavalry
arrive. Methinks that a little experimentation during the winter
recess will reveal more. Until then they can stay FastFD.
