Hi Simon, The bacula server is running at 1000Mbps, full duplex:
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX. I'm trying to figure out at what speed/duplex the Windows server is but the switch it's plugged into shows that's it's also 1000Mbps full duplex. Cabling is all Cat5e.
