hi all, i have been set the task of implementing a gigabit ethernet lan, gigabit all the way to the desktop (about 400 users) could someone tell me if i should use full or half duplex ? i read somewhere that there isn't any equipment available for half-duplex. can someone help? Cheers, Dan.

Hello all, I wonder if i might be able to ask some novice questions? Suppose i wish to set up a 1gb ethernet LAN. this will involve creating access points for visitors to plug in their laptops to connect at various points across the network. Now, invariably, these laptops will have 10/100 nics: do these work with gigabit switches and repeaters? which mode should they be in, full or half duplex? and thirdly, what are the coniguration rules for gigabit lans? Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dean.
