Hi JLM,

I think there will be a problem with the speed matching between the  
de0 and the switch.

The de0 is only a 10Mbps card, the rest of your network is 100Mbps.  
Exactly how / why this is the case, I can't really tell, but the  
circumstances leading up to this ("changed to 100Mbps on all other  
machines") makes me pretty sure that this is the case.

Either (a) drop all the network back to 10Mbps or (b) swap out the  
DE-450 (?) for a later 10/100 card.

of course, I could be right off base ;')
