OK, the 5224 is now seeing the network, so I put my new HP Proliant ML370 G3 server on it, the server has a Gigabit nic, and sure enough it reported connecting at 1gb, great. However, when users connect to it for files from the 3com 3300 10/100 switch, it crawls! Are there any settings I need to set on the port I'm using as an uplink to the 3com switch? or vica-versa on the 3com? Heres the port status on the 5224..

Vty-0#show interfaces status ethernet 1/1
Information of Eth 1/1
 Basic information:
  Port type: 1000T
  Mac address: 00-0D-56-46-EA-49
 Configuration:
  Name:
  Port admin: Up
  Speed-duplex: Auto
  Capabilities: 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full, 1000full,
  Broadcast storm: Enabled
  Broadcast storm limit: 256 packets/second
  Flow control: Disabled
  Lacp: Disabled
  Port security: Disabled
  Port security action: None
 Current status:
  Link status: Up
  Port operation status: Up
  Operation speed-duplex: 100half
  Flow control type: None

The operation speed-duplex is showing 100half because its not in the switch at the moment, but on a hub, when its plugged into the switch it reports 100full

If any one as any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!!

Thanks in advance,

Alan.
