Full or Half Duplex? on Intel Pro 100 networkcard

Recommended Posts

hi dudes,

 

What is better? full or half duplex setting for a network card.

 

Thanks

Full duplex is obviously better - it means that the network card can transmit and receive at the same time.

However, it is dependent on the other network cards/hubs/routers etc. also being capable of full duplex.

 

If you can, I would set the card to auto-detect - that way, you can always be sure that the card will set at a speed that can communicate with whatever it's attached to.

that particular netcard defaults to 1/2 duplex

i set mine to full and have had no problems. i also havent seen any significant change in performance

Full Duplex gets better performance on 100Mbps Switching HUBs. On regular 10/100 non-switching HUBs it isn't all that great.
