     have three alphaservers: a 1000 4/233 running 4.0d, a 1000A 5/400 running
    4.0d and a 1000A 4/266 running 4.0e. No patches have been applied to any.
    I can get my DE600 on the 4.0e system to run full duplex, but I cannot get
    the others to.

    I have ew*_mode set to FastFD, I have also tried autosense, I have
    IFCONFIG_1="1.2.3.4 netmask 255.0.0.0 speed 200" statements in rc.config for
    all three servers, three nics in each server. The firmware for the 1000A
    5/400, running at half duplex is 5.7-80, the firmware of the 1000A 4/266,
    running at full duplex is 5.3-95. So, I doubt that the newer firmware is
    the issue, though stranger things have happened.

    There are many summaries in the archives dealing with similar issues, but I
    cannot find a resolution to my problem. Do I need to upgrade the other
    servers to 4.0e? As each alpha is different than the others, is it the
    revision of the hardware?

    All suggestions welcome.
