Anybody know of a tool or way to check if your NIC is set to half or full duplex when using auto sense (ie. not how to set duplex)... ?

ps. in Windows (command prompt or a tool of some sort)

when you goto my network places in the control panel right click your local area connection click on properties.

Then click on the box that saids show icon in system tray check hit ok then double click the icon in the tray to see the duplex on auto.

In Network Places, Right click your lan connection, choose properties and then click the configure button for your nic near the top of the window.
You should find an advanced tab in the box that opens. Different nics have different options but you should be able to see (and manually set) your link speed/duplex setting.
