So I got this nice server configured. Old MB and Athlon 800, but should be just fine for a Linux server used for testing and backup.

Samba
Ftp
Apache
MySQL
PHP

I am a very happy camper... but network performance sucks....

After excluding a lot of things... I check the NIC and it is 10 MPS

Dooh!

So I want to switch to a 100.NIC

My doc search and google search tell tons of stuff but not what I want to know....

Anyone been this way before and able to tell me what to do in the hardward config after the switch?

Thanks
