Thanks, I will try ethtool. By the way I needed 10Mbps because I'm trying to communicate with an old system which only supported 10. I just dont understand why one laptop works fine and the other does not and was wondering if there was some standard reason why this might be happening.
I would expect the switch to handle the difference. I've never noticed my networks slowing down just because I plugged in a slower device, and I would (I chucked a 10 Mbit switch when I found it wasn't 100 Mbit; the difference cost a day's work).
