General Questions

I just discovered that my WAN interface on one of my instances of m0n0wall is running in half-duplex. I looked and could not find a place to set it. I suspect it's failing to properly negotiate with the router that its' connected to, but I don't control that system. Is there any way to force it into full duplex?

download your m0n0wall's config file and edit it with an xml editor (I use Programmer's Notepad).

- add the last two lines below to the <wan> section.

- restore your config with the edited file.

      <wan>
         <if>em1</if>
         <media>100BaseTX</media>
         <mediaopt>full-duplex</mediaopt>

Thanks. I had already downloaded the config and noticed the option <mediaopt/> in the xml file. I wasn't sure that was the place to change it.

I had a similar problem with a Comcast Fiber Router.  I contacted Comcast Support and they set it to full duplex and it's working great now.
