    Hello

    I recently purchased Dedicated server at ThePlanet. They offered 100mbps port, but I am not getting that type of speed. I believe its more or some less than 10mbps only.

    I am creating my website http://www.spidernetcafe.com (its on theplanet servers) Please let me know, how can I check that my port is 100mbps.

    While searching Google, I found this website
    http://www.vertain.com

    & when I entered my url which is spidernetcafe.com, on results page, it shows my server port is 10mbps.

    any help, Highly appreciated.

    Regards

    Measured speed (using 10 mbps connection)

    That is the port speed they used to test your server.

    Login to shell and wget a test file from a the planet, your speed should be around 12,5 MB/sec. 100Mbit = 12,5 MB/sec.

    Also make sure your nic is on full duplex.

    ethtool eth0
    (or eth1, etc)
    If you get a response back from the previous command, do the following:

    ethtool -s eth0 speed 100;
    ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off
    ethtool -s eth0 duplex full;

    If you do not get a response back from the ethtool command, you'll need one of the following:

    mii-tool -rR
    (for 100mbit)
    mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD
    (for 10mbit)

    Once the above steps are followed the server speed can be checked using the command as

    mii-tool eth0

    Output should be:

    eth0: 100 Mbit, full duplex, link ok
