god8y from #bit here again i just bought this switch from 3com (16port 10/100) and when i put the gateway on it and the comps of my room , and i uplink the hub to it, the upstream kinda fails it goes like 24-21-6-4-2-1-0.3-0kbs and it keeps on 0kbs. when i ever put the gateway on the hub and uplink it to the switch it works fine again, but i would have better peformance when its on the switch, i gues, what could be the problem, hope you can help...
