I realise that there are NIC compatibility issues with some switches, and duplex / speed considerations, but I was wondering if anyone could shed light on a connectivity issue I am having?
When setting two hosts to 10 Mbps half duplex, and both switch ports to the same I am experiencing packet loss, between hosts when large files are transmitted. There are just two hosts on my switch. Yet when I connect the two hosts via a cross over cable there is none. I am running the latest version of IOS. The strange thing is I don't see any increase in counters highlighting problems with duplex, and if I use the old Bay 10 mps hub, there are no issues.
