I have had zero luck with both the Intel 100B and 3COM 3C9X5. Perhaps the NIC's you are using are smarter now. I do get 100 Mb, but not full-duplex. That is negotiated by the hub. - Andrew On 3 Jan 2003 at 13:31, Shaw, Marco wrote: > > "...If you are trying to get two 10/100 boards to connect at 100 Mb > using a x-over cable, it will not negotiate faster than 10 Mb..." > > I do it often, and get 100/full with a crossover cable...
