We have something strange in the network. Some computers have there network speed set on auto and are running slow. When we change this to full duplex or sometimes half duplex the speed is really fast.

Is there a tool someone knows of to test the speed of a workstation? I don't want to start it manually from every pc.
 
If your switch is managed, I would check the port configurations. When it comes to hd/fd/auto you need consistency.

If the switch ports are on 'auto' then the clients need to be set to 'auto' etc. Full duplex will only work well on good connections.


Carlsberg don't run I.T departments, but if they did they'd probably be more fun.
