Default Re: Using sysconfig or the command line to change nic speed and duplex settings

I was in Expert mode. The nic is set to 10 Mb's half duplex. Here's the commands I used.

ifdown eth0 'take the interface down
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off 'make the changes
ifup 'bring the interface up
ethtool eth0 'check the interface settings

next i tried.

ifdown eth0
mii -tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0
ifup etho
ethtool eth0

next i tried, editing the ifcfg-eth0 file by adding this line to the end of the file.

ethtool_opts="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"

And, then restarted the server.

None of these attempts worked. Ethtool showed the interface was still set to 10 Mb's half duplex, and I still had collisions occuring.

uname -r returns 2.4.21-20cp

Do these commands work on your SPLAT box?
