Which NIC are you using? Is it 'up'? Some NICs would stay at 10Mbps if not 'up'.

(I have linux boxes that fail it every once in a while too). If you want, you can specify media type under the 'ifconfig_xyn =' line in rc.conf: ifconfig_em0 = "inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 polling \ media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" -- ==========================================================Peter C.
