Thanks for all the replies so far,
I agree that there is a little debate over AUTO-SENSING... But as I
said I'm assured if you ring HP they will advise to have AUTO at both
the switch and the server !
Yet if you speak to any network engineer, he will say always avoid
this.
But my real question is for all you PRO's who manage a system on a day
to day basis.
Do you recieve these errors ? Being a Microsoft man, of course our
server don't bother to report anything. But it seems VMS complain...
sorry informs you even if the wind changes direction..
Which is all right and all, but at least microsoft give you an error
code which you can search on to figure out what to do. VMS simply says
"ERRROR, WARNING" and its up to judgement to figure it out
However I do like VMS so don't think I playing the MS card.. sheesh
