Re: Slow PIX 501 Set your External interface to "auto" see what happens. I agree with the others sounds like a duplex mis-match problem.
Ah, now I read the words "DStink" switch. I have a di-624 at home. DStink claims it has 10/100 4port switch. I tried forcing my workstation port to 100 full-duplex... connection dropped.
It isn't possible on the di-624 RevB I have to force the speed and duplex on the nic when connected to the di-624. |

| AFAIK you can't change e1 it is tied directly to the internal 4 port switch. When I force my desktop to full100 it has the same results. The dlink is on the e0 side and I don't think it is the problem since it behaved the same when I tried an IBM managed switch. |

| New 501 have 100bT on WAN port I was just looking at cisco's site and they say the PIX 501 has a 10/100 the WAN port. Its this true? Mine has a 10baseT, though it is quite old. |
|
| It looks like you are running code 6.3 and that is all you need to bump your interface to 100bt full duplex. Though all my pix's that I have upgraded with them being connected to Cisco 3550 switches I can't get them to reliably run at 100bt full duplex on the 501's. |

We are talking about the External interface of the Pix, correct? Set the External Pix ethernet interface to AUTO and see what happens?
Did the speed get worse, better or same? |

| Well imagine that, I had no idea that I could set it to 100full with just the software update. Silly me. That seemed to do the trick. At 10baseT I was still not getting nearly the speed I should have. Thanks for everyone's help! |

Sanford, FL | We have a 501, and I have it set to full100.
so yes the new ios supports that. not sure if the h/w supports it if yours is older. |
