This is part of the detail report of the speedtest ran yesterday.
I am not a network engineer, so if anyone can explain this I would be grateful.
------ Web100 Detailed Analysis ------
Client Receive Window detected at 1045440 bytes.
Cable modem/DSL/T1 link found.
Link set to Full Duplex mode
No network congestion discovered.
Good network cable(s) found
Alarm: Duplex mismatch condition found: Host set to Full and Switch set to Half duplexD
Is this a condition to be concerned about?
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay.
#1 Run a speed test.
#2 If you don't get at least 10MBps downstream, set the NIC to 10Base - Tx.
#3 If you get at least 10MBps downstream, set the NIC to 100Base - Tx.

Hello,
1. Modem= Westell 6100
2 & 3. No separate router or switch
4. NIC= Netgear FA310TX Fast Ethernet PCI card.
Hmmmm. I also have an onboard NIC - NVIDIA nForce that is not active but is newer.
Could this be the issue?
Thanks for your response.

The PC is getting old....running XP SP3.
My 'Local area connection' is linked to the onboard NIC. The DSL modem is not attached to this connection.
But here is the reading: speed/duplex settings = Full autonegotiation
Other options available: Autonegotiate for 1000FD
Autonegotiate for 100FD
Autonegotiate for 100HD
Autonegotiate for 10FD
Autonegotitae for 10HD
Force 10 Full Duplex
Force 10 Half Duplex
Force 100 Full Duplex
Force 100 Half Duplex
Full Autonegotiation
The 'DLS connection' is linked to a PCI Netgear NIC.
Properties / connection speed = Autosense
It has the options of 100Base - Tx
100Base - Tx full duplex
10Base - Tx
10Base - Tx full duples
Autosense
Hope this is anwers your question?

I also must apologize...was ill.
Well, I changed the settings on the DSL NIC to 100Base Tx and a recent Speed Test Analysis now reads:
------ Web100 Detailed Analysis ------
Client Receive Window detected at 1045440 bytes.
Cable modem/DSL/T1 link found.
Link set to Full Duplex mode
Information: throughput is limited by other network traffic.
Good network cable(s) found
Normal duplex operation found.
So thank you for you solution! This is back to normal operation.
