Are you using a router?

uh-uh...

[RaWDiZ]

But I've gotta Westell WireSpeed Dsl Modem...Can that act as a router?

[richcornucopia]

Then you can try 10 or 100 since your dsl probably isn't faster than 10, you dint need to use the 100 since you dint have a home network. Try both of them, do speed tests and see if one gives you better results over the other.

Do you know the model number? Try entering 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0 in your browser and see what comes up.

Most modems use half-duplex, and are configured for 10Mbps, although some will accept 100Mbps.

[richcornucopia]

Yea if your modem doubles as a router then put it in 100. Do you have multiple computers hooked up to it, do you have wireless computers?

[RaWDiZ]

Nope this is the only one..a desktop computer

[richcornucopia]

Then you don't need to use  100, but you can just see which gives you better speeds 10 or 100.

[RaWDiZ]

should it be half..or..Full duplex?

[richcornucopia]

Full duplex, but again if you want to experiment with what works best for you go ahead, there is no single fix for everyone to make their connections the best they can be, except for vanburen  .

The worst that can happen, if you set the NIC to the wrong speed or duplex, is that your Local Area Connection will tell you that you have a "Network cable unplugged."  If this happens, then you know that the current settings are not supported by the modem/router.
