[CentOS] Could not setup Speed and Duplex on CentOS 5.5

Greetings,

I recently installed CentOS 5 on Dell PE 1750 server. I have noticed that
the speed and duplex settings are 100 Half Duplex. I tried to change the
duplex settings to full, but no success. I got the error message "Cannot
get
current device settings: Operation not supported". Does anyone else
experience this issue?. Below is the error message and some more details
about my box. Any help will be highly appreciated.

[root at xentwo ~]# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on

[root at xentwo ~]# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

Not sure about the "can't get device settings", and I'm just
not sure if
order is significant in the command, but the manpage, and past experience,
says that after the interface name, you *have* to have autoneg off,
otherwise forcing settings is a contradiction in terms.

The other question is what the switch you're connecting to is set to.

[CentOS] Could not setup Speed and Duplex on CentOS 5.5

Sikkandar,
 
typically, we do this & put this text
 
ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
 
in this file 
 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
 
and any others files there as necessary
 
reboot unit or whatever is best for your admin situation...
 
you may have other issues that we cannot discern from your email
