switch duplex problem/vlan

by d_unafraid . Updated 21 years, 9 months ago

HI All
First thank you for your time
I have having two Network Issue with my customer, please help me if you can

First
I have a new cisco 2950 edge switch connected to a existing 6500 Core switch. the Core switch is hard set to 100mbps full, the strange thing is I cant hard set my edge switch to 100mbps, they cant see each other on the network.The customer insisted that the Core must be hard set to 100mbps, and that left me with no other choice.I try troubleshooting the switch and realised that only by setting the edge to auto or 100 half will I get them to talk, but then again, due to the different setting on the switches, i am receiving alot of collsion. what can i do about it? what are the usual problem that causes the switch duplex difference

second
my customer complained to me when they try to transfer files across just one of the vlan, the transfer was cut off after a while. files transfer to other vlan segment was fine. where else can i start looking into to solve the problem?
Regards
