How do I use ethtool to answer your question?

What does ethtool tell you about what the interface thinks it is?

I have a 100baseT network with several Debian servers, a mac book, and some virtual windows. I just picked up a Western Digital My Book Live (MBL) 2TB NAS at Costco, and powered it up on my network. The unit is just sitting with its green light on, and the web interface is really slow. When I ping the device, it shows somewhere from 50% to 86% packet loss. If I ping any other computer on the network I have 0% packet loss. I have tried moving the device to different physical plugs, and I get the same results.

ping results for the MBL from server A:
--- 192.168.25.213 ping statistics ---
330 packets transmitted, 152 received, 53% packet loss, time 329555ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.208/0.273/0.650/0.048 ms

--- 192.168.25.213 ping statistics from server B ---
254 packets transmitted, 120 received, 52% packet loss, time 252998ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.196/0.264/2.499/0.206 ms


ping results for  server A to B:
--- 192.168.25.130 ping statistics ---
340 packets transmitted, 340 received, 0% packet loss, time 338996ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.080/0.177/0.246/0.030 ms

The device says gigabit Ethernet next to the Ethernet port. Is there any reason I can't connect a gigabit Ethernet device to a 100baseT network other than the obvious speed difference? Should I see all this packet loss? This is actually the second unit I have tried - the first one acted the same way, so I took it back. I am now wondering if I am doing something wrong.


Thanks!
