Well I agree with setting switch and NICs to hardcoded 100/full. My issue (currently, or one of the many) is how most of the Gig E nics do not have a 1000/Full settings for hardcoding. You have to set it at the port and leave AUTO on the card. This was a problem for me last year with some broadcoms to the point that I replaced the drivers 3 times trying to get it to REALLY go to 1 gig.

Hi THIN LIST: It was suggested to me that I should set the port speeds on all my switches and NIC's to the same speed/duplexing and not use Auto for any configuration. I am running a 100 MB network and in one location have a 1GB back plane where my Citrix servers plug into. What settings should work best (half / Full) and should I hard code each Network device off the Auto setting?
