Check out mii-tool, it should be installed on your system.

Howdy: 

Brand new to the list, hope to learn and help as much 
as I can. 

I installed RHEL ES 3.0 on an Intel box.  The install went 
smoothly and I am at the point where I can do just about 
all I need.  I want to ping an Windows 2000 server but 
I get "Destination Host Unreachable".  I try to ping the 
Linux box, but get 'Request timed out'. 

I am able to ping all other machines from other domains but 
the Linux and Windows server aren't talking to each other. 

The IS / network team suggested that because the network is doing 
100T full-duplex, the servers may not talk to each other 
(It is my understanding that the network auto negotiates, but 
that's another story) and I need to configure my eth0 card 
to do 100 Full instead of 100 Half Duplex (the messages 
file confirms that I am doing 100 Half Dup on the Linux box). 

Is it possible to force the eth0 card to do 100 Full on a 
auto negotiating network like the Windows box?  If so, how? 

Thanks!
