Well my problem was solved today. I found out when our NOC was redone the
new switches (HP Pro curves) were set to 100 mb Full Duplex since the
switch they replaced was a 3Com that was 10/100 with only 2 1000mb ports
and a fiber connection, so my server was set to 100mb and auto negotiation

Hi
It looks like this is a Broadcom NIC. Does your Linux distro recognise the
exact card. If not, I am guessing it might not let you set the options you want.
Which is where I come back to my original suggestion of leaving it at a default
auto-negotiate, and getting the switch at the far en

That makes me think that this server only has 100Mbit ethernet, not
GigE at all. As Brandon says, try the 'sudo mii-tool -v' and see what
it says.
It might also be fixed b

They did say "something like"; use "sudo mii-tool -v" to check what media
types are available and what that card calls them.

Robert,
Well I will be honest I am not sure how to set the ethtool settings back to
default. It seems the NIC doesn't like any commands I give it. I tried
sudo etht
Yes, I caught the command failure from another email.
That is going to be an issue. :)
Also, doing a re-negotiation on a port where the switch has negotiations
turned off will have some problems... :P
BTW, a failed negotiation goes to 100Mb Half-Duplex by default. So, if
the switch is set t
Hmm.. I just remembered about the mii-tool and mii-diag programs.
Have you tried using them as well? It works well on my home machine,
admittedly running newer hardware and newer OS, Debian 7.

See the lines in the "ethtool eth0" output where it says:
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Half
That indicates that the NIC is autonegotiating the lowest common denominator
between the switchport and the server's NIC - almost always because autoneg is
failing due to the fact that one sid

Robert,
Well I will be honest I am not sure how to set the ethtool settings back to
default. It seems the NIC doesn't like any commands I give it. I tried
sudo ethtool -r eth0
to restart the negotiation and that did not help.

John and Jonathan,
Well no matter what I try I get errors like this

So the driver will not talk to the card to change settings.
I just got off the phone with HP with no help but I may have to reboot
First clear all of the ethtool settings back to their default.
GigE to GigE autonegotiations work just fine. Even across vendors.
Auto-neg was designed into the protocol from the start.
The 100Base-T and lower specs had N-Way autonegotiation tagged on after
the fact and so had quite a few c

Hi
If the NOC is friendly, can they fix the problem at their end? If they can set
the switch port to AUTO at 1Gbps only, your HP NIC will likely sort itself out.

I thought GigE was already full duplex by default? After all the
horrors of the old sun HME card gettings 100 Full/Half duplex borked
