[TriLUG] OT: failed 10/100 switch?

[Ryan Leathers]

A fixed duplex setting perhaps ?  The hub will be half of course...
could it be that the switch is forced full on the port in question ?
Just a guess.

Subject: [TriLUG] OT: failed 10/100 switch?

Just wondering if anyone has ideas here...

I bought a cheapo 10/100 switch for home to replace my old 10MB hub. The
switch connects two desktop machines (one Win98, one Debian) and one
firewall/router/etc. (debian).  All have 10/100 cards in them (IBM
eepros
in the debian machines, HP something or other in the Win98) and the
network works fine on the 10MB hub.

I switched over to the 10/100 switch and communication with the Win98
machine died.  The link LED came on, and I rebooted the Win98 machine
(since that's how you usually fix those :)), and still nothing. Moving
the
plugs back to the hub fixed everything.

Am I looking at a DOA switch, or could something else be going on?

Thanks.
