The fact that Ethernet did "negotiate" and you have a "link up", does NOT say that you had a successful negotiation. It is not uncommon for link to go up on both sides, each side declaring a different speed... this is a well known problem on lots of Cisco hardware for example. It seems to be working, but connection is flaky. And when you drop the autoneg and force the port on a certain speed, it starts working great. So I would try that anyways, despite the fact that it _seems_ to be working well. Start with 10mbps/HD :) And last tip - of course it's a bit too late for you - but for the next time - I - personally - have learned my lesson - I will not buy Edimax again... :) -- Shimi
