If the connection has a tray icon, double-clicking that should bring up |
| 7 |
an info dialog that has the link speed somewhere. Otherwise you'll have |
| 8 |
to click you way through control panel->network->blah, I don't know |
| 9 |
exactly...Windoze config is a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. |

Another thing: check the Linux side with ifconfig, it gives some |
| 11 |
statistics on errors, dropped packets and overruns next to RX and TX |
| 12 |
packet counts. Those should be zero, or at most pretty small numbers. If |
| 13 |
they are not, your cables and/or switch are flaky. |
