Re: 400 MPS

My switches are green all day and amber at night -- for the PC's, not the 
AS/400. Since you said "all the lights are amber" I thought I'd throw this 
out there.

When the PC's are turned off (yes, most of my users turn their PC's off at 
night), the NIC's are still active (for Wake-On-Lan, not that we use it) 
and you see them connected at 10Mb.

My edge switches are 10/100, not gigabit.

Are you sure? While this has been the case for a while (Amber=10,
Green=100), the introduction of Gigabit switches lead to several cases
where amber indicates a Gigabit link.

It's Megabit per Second - mbps.
