by I have a cable modem and am only getting download speeds of approximately
10Kbs speeds under Suse 7.3 Pro. With Win98 I get download speeds of about
3Mbs.
I have checked the various newsgroups and How-To's and believe my problem is
a media type mismatch between the cable modem and nic.
To check this, I set Win 98 for 10Mbs full duplex, and got the same
performance as Suse. When I set Win98 for 10Mbs *half-duplex* performance
returned to the 3Mbs range again.
Question 1: Am I on the right track thinking it is a media mismatch?
Question 2: If so, how do I set the media type in Suse?
The often recommended mii-tool utility is not recognized when I attempt to
run it.
Thanks in advance for all replies,
Robert
