I searched the KB and didn't find anything. Do you have a
specific article you can refer me to?

I believe my router has auto-negotiating 10/100 ports with
indicator lights. I have a laptop computer that only has a
10 Based-T card in it and the router senses that. Other PCs
have 100 and it senses them correctly. The lights for the
iMac connection are on and indicate it senses a connection
and 100. However, it does seem that it doesn't auto-
negotiate everything as it should. I am going to try the hub
solution this evening. Thanks for the response.

Best Regards,

Chris
