Hey all,

I have a 3COM router (SMC Barricade equivalent) with two computers hooked to it, and a cable modem attached to the "WAN" port. Both cards are 10/100, and the built-in switch is 10/100 as well. However, the network is running at 10mbps. How do I bump the speed up to 100mbps? I don't think I need to force the card via the drivers.. Shouldn't it recognize that the switch is 10/100 and therefore go to the higher speed?

Some feedback is appreciated.. Thanks!

What are the cards set to?
If they're on "auto-detect" force them to 100. If they're on 10, change them to auto. If they're on 100, well, I dunno what to tell you. :)
