full duplex

Is there anyway on the X-serve to see if we are running full duplex? We copy to all the other servers at 100Mb/sec, however transferring to the X-serve is very slow, more like 10Mb/sec.

Thanks for any advice

not sure how you can check, but here's how to enable it

im at work on a PC so i cant try, but you can try to read the ifconfig by using the pico editor in Terminal.app

Check SERVER MONITOR and select the tab NETWORK and choose the correct interface, it should tell you duplex/speed/ip addy/mac addy etc.

Just wondering did you do the last security update? 12/19/03?

I ran that security update on my xserve, and finally had the chance to restart a few days ago.
Now my throughput is shot! It says its at 100base and Full Duplex, but its not performing as such.
Any thoughts?

You might try having your switch/router port set to half-duplex. We are having network performance issues if our ports are set to full-duplex.

No. The problem was Apple's fault due to a bad security update from december. The fix finally was available through software update (two days after i read it was available, but couldnt find it). Now my servers are running like before, but i am very suprised and annoyed that this happened to begin with.
