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? I'd say, don't do autoadjust. Some vendor NICs can't autoadjust when the other side is some other vendor NIC. Don't know whether your 2 NICs have this problem intercommunicating. However, if the problem disappears when you set them both to the same speed (for instance 10Mbps half duplex), you know you have this problem. Then, either keep them at fixed speeds, or replace one of the NICs. And is there any way to log errors? Sometimes "type lantran.log" gives this info, but I think this depends on the driver...
