I'm guessing your using win9x.    Go to desktop, highlight network.  Right
click, select properties. Highlight your nic and select properties.  Under
advanced tab select "connection type"  there will be a value to the right,
change from auto sense or whatever is there to 10mb/half duplex.  I dont'
have a plan 10mb card so I can't help there.  You may have to do it with a
utility from you card manufacturer if the card is old enough.
