Re: FTP Speeds

Thanks Larry. 

Wow!  Frankie rocks!

i5 settings look like this:

Ethernet standard  . . . . . . . . :   *ALL 
Line speed . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *AUTO
Current line speed . . . . . . . . :   100M 
Duplex . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *AUTO
Current duplex . . . . . . . . . . :   *FULL


I'll have to find out who manages the switches (large customer) and then 
have them tell me what the setting are.  I'll see what they are and take 
appropriate action. If I understand you correctly, if the switch is 
Cisco or Dell then I should set the switch and the i5 to have "set" 
values rather than *AUTO e.g. 100M FULL duplex.  Correct?
