luxaeternal Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 As we speak I am on hold with Cox trying to figure out my issue. The rep won't transfer me to a Level 2 agent, and he is clueless. I need some help! Setup Information: Windows XP Home Edition NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (onboard) (Also installed, Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet Adapter.

If anyone can offer me any help, I'd really appreciate it! I've been fighting this thing for over two months now, and what was first just a tid bit annoying, is now really bugging me. If anyone could just help me figure out what a few things are, that could help a bunch too. I'm somewhat knowledgeable with networks and such, so some definitions and common usages/locations would benefit my troubleshooting a great deal What is a network switch and where is it located? Should I get a different Ethernet Adapter? I'm being rushed so I cannot properly finish this post, but I'll try and further it later. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted August 24, 2006 CID Share Posted August 24, 2006 Welcome to the forum Don't worry about it as long as your speeds are fine (and they're pretty good) That duplex tester isn't very accurate from my experience. Also it could be that your modem is half duplex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 25, 2006 CID Share Posted August 25, 2006 Welcome the the forum! php hit it on the head... for the most part the modems til this point have operated at 10Mbps.. not 10/100.. So that is what you are seeing.. also like php said.. if your speeds are ok.. then you should be alright. I know my 5100 operates at 10Mbps..
