Hello, folks,
does anybody know how to limit my Ethernet connection by speed?
The situation is the following: I have 2 computers with Linux openSuse 11.0 on both. They are connected via Ethernet (local network). And I wanna manage the maximal connection speed (or to manage the connection’s band limits). I did not find any options do do that, using Yast. Maybe there exist another software to manage that?
Sorry, I’ve post it in wrong forum. Admins, please, move it to the Network forum. Thanks.
Moved at request of O.P.

I’ve got the following output from the “ethtool” command:
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s

PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: umbg
Wake-on: g
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)

Does it mean that i can limit my Ethernet connection to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbit/sec?
What are the characteristics Half/Full mean?
yes, you can limit the speed with ethtool, man ethtool in a console should set you right

The problem is resolved by command
ethtool -s DEVNAME advertise 0x…
