Question lan card autonegotiation?
what is lan card autonegotiation ?
how to enable and disable this feature?

Real simply, Autonegotiation between two devices is simply the devices 'talking' to each other to find the speed and mode that both can 'talk' at. Just like when modems connect to each other...they go through the 'conversation' of finding out at what speed they can both talk without losing the 'conversation'. If you have one ethernet card that can autonegotiate and another that can't, then the autonegotiation will be pointless since they will run at the speed/mode that the second card is set to. Sometimes, two cards that are suppose to autonegotiate can't...due to problems between vendors.

As far as your second question, that is dependent on what you have....see this article for some help.

The listed article looks at auto negotiating from a 'switch' perspective, but doesn't address host issues. Depending on your OS, you can force settings. Which OS are you running? Here's a brief synopsis of some Solaris NIC Control settings

Cheers,
