    What are you plugging the card into (repeater, switch, another
    machine)?
    
    If you're plugging into another machine (a point to point
    configuration), you're going to need a crossover cable.

    HI !
     Thx for reply. We are connecting from de500-XA card to cisco
    switch. The switch works under 100Mbps. Other machines connected to
    switch also working in 100Mbps. All are connected using CAT5 cables.
    
     Thx & regards

    Switches are cool, but can require a bit of tinkering to get them to
    work.  Run with ewa0_mode fastfd (or ifconfig tu0 speed 200)...
    
    Check the switch to see if it requires straight through or crossover
    cables.  Then check your cable to make sure it's straight or crossover
    (really easy to do).
    
    Also, is the switch manageable?  If so, check the configuration of the
    port that you're connecting to.
    

    
    I should have said, "Run with ewa0_mode fastfd (or ifconfig tu0 speed
    200) if the switch supports full duplex operation..."
    

    Hi Thx for reply. 
      switch supports full duplex and the other machines connected to
    switch all works under 100Mbps full duplex. The same de500-xa card
    if connected to other machine give 100Mbps Full duplex mode. 
    
     ifconfig tu2 speed 200 + ew*_mode fastfd are tried. But noluck.
    
     But on this machine It just works on 10Mbps. CAT5 cables are used and
    cables are okay.
    
     Any more things to try?

    Is the switch manageable?  Is the port setup to run properly?  Perhaps
    the port is configured to run at 10...
    
    Also, do you have more than one LAN interface on the system?  If so,
    make sure they're in different subnets (otherwise IP won't use the
    second interface).
    
    Does the switch support autonegotiation (NWAY support)?
    
    I hate to ask this, but what does "The same de500-xa card if connected
    to other machine give 100Mbps Full duplex mode." mean?  Does it mean
    that if you connect two machine together, the adapter works?

     Yes the switch is manageable. Port works in 100Mbps.

     Yes we have two ethernet interfaces. And subneting is done. The
    controller which is giving problem  is working in 10Mbs. IP is using
    that interface also.
    
   > Does the switch support autonegotiation (NWAY support)?
    
     Yes switch supports.

     Okay. I am sorry for not being clear here. What I mean to say is this.
    
     I have put the same controller on to different machine and connected
    to
     same port of the switch. That point of time it works in 100Mbps. But
    in this turbolaser it does not work 100Mbps. 
    
    For me it is a very crazy problem First ever seen. I don't know
    what to do.
    
    thx & regards

    Can't say that I've tried hooking up an DE500-XA to a autonegotiating
    switch...  The DE500-XA does not autonegotiate, but the switch should
    settle to the DE500-XA's setting.
    
    What version of Digital UNIX is running on the machine where the
    DE500-XA works (not the tlaser, but the other one)?  Or is the other 
    machine running NT/VMS/WIN95?
    
    I believe that there are patches available for V3.2D1 (well, you could
    go to D2, for instance).  Have you tried and patches?  Also, V3.2G might 
    be an option too...
    

    Thx for reply.

     The machine is AS1000A and runnning DU 3.2D1 itself.

     I checked in the patch kit also. But the patch is there on DU 3.2D-1
    for de500-AA problems not for DE500-XA. The other documents says 
    DE500-XA shoud function properly.

    I can think of no good reason why 100BaseTX would fail on a tlaser, but
    work on a 1000A.  Unless there's some electrical differences between
    the two...
    
    Maybe you have a bad slot on the tlaser, have you tried multiple PCI
    slots?
    
    Time to move this problem out of the notesconference.  Better start
    getting resolution through normal support channels.
    

    Hello !
     Thx a lot for all the help & replies. I will post a call on this. 
    I wil post here when we get the solution on this.
    
     Thx a lot
