That was an excelent point that was posted just as I was starting an incedent
with Microsoft Tech Support so I called off the incedent knowing that I
hadn't configured the card for anything and knowing that Auto mode does
indeed assume some of the worse settings. Anyway I configured the card for
full duplex 100Mb in the protocol.ini file, rebooted the client, and that
didn't seem to help. The W2K3 server has the defaults in it for network
connectivity so I'm not for certain that it is also full duplex 100Mb. I'll
have to check that tonight but I'm not certain that it could be an issue on
the server side because the same network connection between the server and
the ethernet switch is shared between this DOS client and the other Windows
clients which are showing no network throughput problems. Unless the card
reconfigures itself between seperate packets of information depending on
which client is do the packet transmission.?
