Macintos workstations and some Windows platform workstations are in a same

I noticed that 90% of the Mac clients have this problem, Windows clients no
problem.
Some folks may disagree with me, but my opinion is that network switches
should be left to auto-negotiate UNLESS you have problems. You're
correct that Macs work better when both sides are left to auto-negotiate.
What most folks don't realize is that auto-negotiate on both sides
allows the switch and computer to negotiate speed as well as duplex.
However, when the switch is forced to to a specific speed and duplex
while the computer is left to auto-negotiate, the negotiation applies
ONLY to the speed. The computer will default to half-duplex. This can
lead to full duplex on the switch and half on the computer, which can
result in poor performance.
Hope this helps! bill
