And ok, assuming that he has a very old cable modem - what should he set it to? How would he determine how it should be set and what the cable modem defaults too? Anyone know? RTFM perhaps? (Seriously)
If it is a new one it should be set to auto IMO, as Robin mentiones that the cable modem is limited to 10mbps half-duplex on these old modems, so one way to tell might be the following, that if you plug in your cable modem and you get a 100Meg connection on auto detect then it is a newer modem and not an old one?
And therefore if you do the same thing with an old modem - would you auto detect 10Mbps and then force it to 10 Meg half-duplex on the PC?
