I was able to ssh into the MBL and it has ethtool installed - MyBookLive:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: external Auto-negotiation: on Link detected: yes MyBookLive:~# So, it should work on 100baeT. Any thoughts on why I am loosing so many packets?
