External interface connecting at 10MBPS

lawnjarts
My external interface is only connecting at 10 MBPS and I'm wondering if this is where my bottleneck is coming from.  On the firewall itself, the orange 10 Mbps light is on, and that's it.  

My cisco router from Qwest is configured for 100 mbps/Full duplex.  Is there a way I can change/fix this issue?

Thanks

    Hi,
    Not ifconfig, but ethtool will show what you need.

    But you should be able to manually set the speeds through the webadmin.

    Half-duplex on ONE end can cause LOTS of dropped packets... I've had the same problem with a Cisco switch... set manually to 100/Full on both ends.

    Don't ask why, but putting that port on the Cisco device into portfast mode (so it skips waiting for spanning tree to learn topology before switching to forwarding mode) may also help.

    you do need to be at a root prompt (either console or ssh) before ethtool or ifconfig will return information.
