I'm discovering that I may have another culprit in my challenge to get my
big Windows server backed up here. Last weekend, I upgraded our network
switches. We went from Dell 100 Mbps to Dell 1 Gbps.

In my BackupPC server and in my Windows 2003 server, I have two teamed 1
Gbps network ports. Basically, this means that two network ports act as one
network port.

I just opened up my switch configuration and noticed something about the
port configuration on my new switches. All my ports are set to
auto-configure the MDI/MDIX settings. In each team, one network port is set
to MDI. The other is set to MDIX. No other ports on my switches are set to
MDI. Could this be my problem? Do I need to configure my network ports
manually to go to MDIX in the network teams?
