I tried some tests with the box that I reinstalled 6.2 on that originally
had 7.1 on it.  It didn't matter whether I forced it to full duplex or
not...the transfer rate was still the same. I'm using fixed IP address
now, and not DHCP.  The switch port I'm connected to is set to full duplex
100MB - no autonegotiate.
