Duplex Mismatch??

TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.3.4e
click START to begin
Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done
running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 467.00Kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 704.95kb/s
Server unable to determine bottleneck link type.
Alarm: Possible Duplex Mismatch condition detected Switch=Full and Host=half

What is meant by the last line? How do I correct duplex mismatch??

Hi Darrell,

From what you have supplied, the LAN adapter on either the client or the
server seems to be configured for half-duplex operation, or unable to do
full-duplex.

The following description may depend on your OS or hardware, so you must
improvise a little.

Start > Control Panel > Network Connections
Double click the LAN connection you're using.
Click "Advanced" Tab
Select the line which says something like Duplex.
If the value is "Full", then go to the other computer (server?) and restart
this procedure.
If the value is not "Full", then see if "Full" is available among the
choices.
If "Full" is not available, then your NIC or driver does not support
full-duplex. Nothing to do.

I hope this helps.

Engin

Yes it does make sense now.
