[TriLUG] setting eth0 to full duplex

[spain at ncssm.edu]

I'm aware of how to manually assign a static address to aninterface,
however, I'm getting notices that there's a duplex mismatch.. switch is set
to 100baseT and I believe the eth0 is set to auto ( is that the setting by
default?)
 
How do I set the interface to full duplex or 100baseT and what syntax can I
use.. if my ip was 192.168.1.100/24
 
ifconfig eth0 inet addr 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up  (what would
be the correct syntax to set the media type to 100baseT)
 
Or is there a file in /etc that you can set the auto start parameters for
eth0 ?
 
Any help is well appreciated.. right now the box periodically drops ssh
sessions due to packet loss..
