[olug] Switch port errors...

[Dan Linder]

BINGO!  Brian and Pat M are the winners.

Very weird.  I had been running at hard-coded 100/Full but apparently (as
the link that Brian pointed to) the hard-coding was forcing the Cox
cablemodem side to run at 100/Half.

I had just made some notes to throughly test all combinations of
auto/full/half/100/10 on the switch port, but this appears to have worked.

Just an FYI, if you want to test your Cox cablemodem speed, the best site
(closest to the advertised throughput) appears to be "Speedtest.net" using
their Dallas site.  My rated speed is 25/5 and the Dallas site just (3:45)
reported that I have 28.41/5.71 @ 51ms ping time.

Thanks again everyone, especially Brian and Pat M.
