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. Important: 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 halfduplex mode. If the switch's port at the other end of the link is configured for fullduplex 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. Note: If you connect your computer directly to a configurable Ethernet switch, have your network administrator disable the spanning tree protocol on that port. Otherwise your computer may duplicate the AppleTalk address of another computer on the same network and both network connections may become unreliable. Chapter 4 Troubleshooting 65
