Today, I found out a strange problem that I have. I had the feeling that my Internet connection was a little slow so I checked my logs. I found the following message appearing all the time:
Sep 23 14:39:10 Monastery kernel[0]: AppleYukon2 - en0 link active, 100-Mbit, full duplex, symmetric flow control enabled port 0
Sep 23 14:39:11 Monastery kernel[0]: AppleYukon2 - en0 link down
Sep 23 14:39:12 Monastery kernel[0]: AppleYukon2 - en0 link active, 100-Mbit, full duplex, symmetric flow control enabled port 0
This has to do with my Ethernet port (en0).
Any ideas? Please? Do you have similar problems?
Note: my Wireless card works just fine.

and especially the
"I had the same problem. I changed the network card settings from auto negotiate to 10mbit full duplex. It works now." comment, I followed its advice and at least I do not get any strange error messages...
I have also updated the firmware of my LinkSys WAG54Gv2 AnnexA ADSL router from v.1.00.19 to 1.01.15.
I checked with a HP laptop today, it the router did the same thing!!! (up and down its network card. When the HP network card was set to 10Mbit full duplex it worked fine. It looks like I need a new router...
I am now using a new router and the problem went away.
Everything is fine now.
