Maximizing Ethernet Performance
Maximizing Ethernet Performance
Your computer performs best when the Ethernet port to which it is connected is set to
autonegotiate. Ask your network administrator to verify this setting.
Note: If you experience connection problems on your network, make sure your network
switch is set to autonegotiate, if possible. If a switch s port is not autonegotiating, your
computer detects the appropriate speed but defaults to half-duplex mode. If the
switch s port at the other end of the link is configured for full-duplex mode, a large
number of late events can occur on the link. If it isn t possible to set the switch to
autonegotiate, then set the switch s port to half-duplex. For more information, see the
documentation that came with the Ethernet switch.
