Re: Turning auto-negotation off drastically reduces network speed.

Rick,

You nailed the problem right on the head. By using:

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off duplex half

it completely fixed the problem.

Thank you so much for your thorough and quick response. It was very
informative and I am actually printing it right now for future
reference.

Thank you,

Matt
