Hello,<BR>
<BR>
FTP connection is kind of slow on my server running Redhat 3.0<BR>
When I tried to view the NIC speed using mii-tool and ethtool, they both show different speeds. mii-tool shows 100Mbps and ethtool shows 1000Mbps<BR>
<BR>
# mii-tool -v eth0<BR>
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok<BR>
product info: vendor 00:aa:00, model 56 rev 0<BR>
basic mode: autonegotiation enabled<BR>
basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok<BR>

# ethtool eth0<BR>

<BR>
dmesg shows "e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex"<BR>
<BR>
which is the correct setting? is it 100 or 1000 Mbps ?<BR>
what could be the cause for a slow FTP connection. All other servers are fine except this.<BR>
<BR>
I appreciate your suggestions and help<BR>
<BR>
Thx in advance<BR>
