RE: [OT] Network Analysis Software Advice Needed

["Darren Karp" <darren.karp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Kyle. Have been giving this some though tonight and the network
cabling is circa 1995 so will not be up to gigabit spec. The PC's that have
gigabit NIC's are showing gigabit connectivity to the new Netgear Prosafe
16
port switch I bought today. Can this be trusted or am I better creating a
new Cat 6 network in the office?

Evening,

Speeds and duplexes :-)

Yup, just let it find its own top speed by use of autonegotation. If all
the cabling is up to scratch, it should work flawlessly. Since it's a
standard in its own right, and required for gigabit, I'd be surprised if
stuff doesn't support it these days!

Hope this helps

Kyle
