Apologies for another non-wireless problem, but it's about OS/2 networking so is partially on-topic...

Can anyone suggest where I should look to discover how to deal with timeouts on a network connection?

It appears between a DELL laptop which has a Broadcom chip and an IBM server using an IBM ethernet card. The IBM server is accessible from other systems but all those systems are limited to 10Mbps. Do I need to set the DELL to 10 Mbps or will it autoadjust?

And is there any way to log errors?
