- | * switch and network card not handshaking on 10/100/1000 (a switch thinking it is speaking to a 100mb network card when the network card thinks it is talking to a 1000mb switch will still work but with mass packet failure) network card settings in windows and managed switches can be hard set, if you choose to hard set a swich stick some tape on the switch to remind you or future techs when the workstation gets swapped later on. | ||
