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.

First thanks for the reply.
Where the server sits the NOC had an upgrade and they went to all new gigabit
switches. So when I try to do any transfers from this server (or from any of
the VMs on the server) I get speeds that make a 56K modem look like
lightspeed. The server is not overloaded as there is only one production VM on
the system that is just doing a bunch of telnet (well sssh ) sessions. The
load average on the VM never goes above 0.00.
I asked our NOC folks and they said to make sure the NIC is set to full
Duplex. So I started checking and saw the card was set to 100mb and half
duplex. Thus started my journey. I have been on with HP for the past 1.5 hours
while they step me through all the things I have tried. I was hoping there
was someone out there that might have come across this already.

John,
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
with Cisco switches. I can't remember the last time I had to muck
with GigE like that.
Have you also checked the other end of the link to see what the switch
thinks the port duplex is? And are you just trying to get more speed
out of the box?
